	La Pucelle: Tactics Miracles FAQ - IGN FAQs
		If this number is greater than the HP of the portal you wish to purify, purifying that portal will cause it to disappear and send an attack down the length of the stream going out of it.
		Take care to note this, the colour of the portal does not matter, all that matters is the colour of the last panel of dark stream before it intersects with itself.
		Enemy damage from dark energy streams and miracles alike, is directly proportional to your purification power, thus if you're having problems with enemies always being killed before you're miracles complete, train a small bit up to ten happiness, and have him set off your miracle.

	La Pucelle: Tactics review for the PS2
		Given the fact that the Angel Calamity and her minion, The Dark Prince, have been wreaking all sorts of dark havoc and an unleashing all manner of silly-looking demons upon the land, the youngsters of La Pucelle have their work cut out for them.
		Furthermore, defeating enemies via the dark energy itself is a bit counter-productive in that you usually end up taking more damage trying to set up dark energy traps than you would if you simply wiped out the portals and kicked the enemies' butts.
		The "Dark Portals' are mere 2-D diamonds on the floor, and the characters are usually shaded in a manner that doesn't match their surroundings.

		If the portal runs out of HP, then the portal will close and all enemies on the path of the dark energy will take damage associated with the alignment of the dark energy (red is for fire, blue is for ice, etc).
		When you are able to loop a dark energy path so that it forms a circle covering a certain amount of space and then purify one of the portals causing the loop of energy, then a miracle attack is formed.
		This element is a portal to the netherworld.

	Perilous Gateways - Dark Elf Portals
		Since the expulsion of Lolth from the pantheon of the surface elves and the exile of her dark elf followers into the lightless subterranean realms of the Underdark, these twisted beings have waged an ongoing struggle with each other and with their former brethren in the Night Above.
		Lolth, the Demon Queen of Spiders, believes that this constant internecine war culls the weak from the ranks of her followers and improves the strength of the dark elf race.
		In this ongoing war between the drow deities and the drow themselves, a number of portals have been created to serve the ends of one faction or another.

		The Church of the Holy Maiden fields certain individuals to hunt demons and cleanse the surrounding lands of their dark energy; and that organization is known as La Pucelle.
		Dark portals are areas on the map through which dark energies flow.
		If you can manage to complete a circuit of dark energy of a certain size and then purify it, you'll invoke a miracle, which is essentially a summons based on the element of the energy that serves up huge damage to creatures within the circle.

		Aether, apparently has been hit by a meteorite which caused an inter-dimensional portal to be opened between Aether and Dark Aether, the ass-backwards evil counterpart to the peaceful planet.
		From this portal has come dark aether infused monstrosities who wish to steal the energy of Aether for use in their twisted world.
		This provides many colorful situations in which light and darkness are in opposition, creatures morph between worlds and puzzles need to be solved using both dimensions ala Soul Reaver and other such games.

		Dark portals are spawn points on the board (noted by diamond-shaped markers) that demons will appear through.

	UGO.com Games - Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles review of the PC MMORPG expansion from Mythic Entertainment
		Dark Age of Camelot is, at its root, much like most other MMORPGs, albeit with some interesting variations.
		There is absolutely no reason for Dark Age of Camelot players to not get Shrouded Isles, as it basically gives them new places to explore and new types of players with which to experiment.
		Mythic is also one of the most user-friendly developers, and always seems to not only pay attention to fan requests, but also to constantly keep the game fresh.

		Dark portals are scattered throughout the battle maps.
		Dark portals allow monsters to spawn into the fray, as well as affect characters that are standing upon them.
		You can use them to your benefit by changing their direction and purifying them, sending an attack on all the baddies that stand upon them.

	La Pucelle: Tactics - PlayStation 2 Review
		Hardly as funny as the dark humor in Disgaea, much of the script has to do with the teenage rants and raves of an overly aggressive sixteen-year-old girl.
		In the end, the game is boiled down to jumping out of the portal at the first move and using a powerful special attack that will pulverize anyone.
		O.K., sure, these "dark portals" are connected to the gamer's ability to go to the "Dark World", a place that is similar to Disgaea's "Item World".

		However, the two many features that help to set La Pucelle apart from its contemporaries are that players can bring most enemies onto their own side if they choose, and there is also the presence of Dark Portals.
		However, it is also possible to push the elemental energy from the Dark Portals around the battlefield until they form a ring.
		At this point, destroying a portal will cause a cascade of ever-increasing damage all around the ring, ending with an extremely powerful blast, devastating any enemies unfortunate enough to be in the ring’s center.

	La Pucelle Tactics Review - GamersHell.com
		But what spices up the action a bit is the presence of dark portals which exude energies of different types, and can spawn new monsters at random intervals.
		The energies these dimensional portals emit are elemental, meaning they carry an aligned nature force like fire, earth, or wind, and can be redirected with either a party member or an unwitting enemy character standing in the path of the energy flow.
		Once a portal square is purified, the energy stream it emits can be used to damage enemies over a long distance, as the successive energy squares are eliminated one by one.

	La Pucelle Tactics PS2 Review - CGN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Dark portals are basically little colored diamonds on some squares of the map, and a character that stands on one can direct a trail of dark energy that flows in the path that they’re facing.
		You can then use a character to “purify” the dark portal, which will cause a miracle attack—any enemy inside the closed dark energy will be severely damaged.
		Despite some aspects of the subject matter that you’d think would be fundamentally sinister, the game lacks any semblance of a dark or edgy undertone to offset the otherwise cutesy motif and keep it all compelling—but then, that may just be a matter of taste.

		Purification can also be used against enemies in addition to Dark Portals, which will make them more likely to join your party after being defeated.
		If a monster and its equipment are powerful enough, players can send them to the Dark World to gain a higher-level item, though since leveling them and their items can be fairly taxing at times, this feature at best plays a minimal role in the game.
		However, depending upon how often players leave Dark Portals open in certain maps, they can enter the Dark World itself, which, while very rewarding, can be very challenging.

		By taking out a large number of dark portals you can summon Miracle attacks to do HUGE amounts of damage.
		These portals also serve as gateways that bring in new enemies from time to time, so purifying them is key to a quick victory!
		The only major complaint I really have with the game is that the separate battle screens tend to slow combat down significantly, and with the large variety of enemies and dark portals, battles can already be rather time consuming.

		If you do have a portal on the edge of the screen, the only way this works is if it is a red colored portal.
		Now take a minute and use one change-up to redirect all the dark portals so they are pointing towards the edges of the map,close enough so that the 4 corner players can use change-ups to redirect currents.
		Finally have Prier(or whoever has the equipment you want to level up) purify the red dark portal that she is on or near (not the one that is directed on itself).

	Absolute Anime / Videogame Review: La Pucelle: Tactics (for PlayStation 2)
		La Pucelle: Tactics is a light-hearted Tactical RPG, where the gimmick has to do with dark portal squares found in various places around the grid-based battlefields.
		These dark portals emit energy which flows out in a straight line until it encounters a character, where it then alters its path to the same direction that the character is facing.
		Each portal has an elemental attribute, and this can either boost or hinder the stats of any character standing on one of the affected squares, depending on what the character's attribute happens to be.

	GameSpy: La Pucelle: Tactics Review
		First is the concept of purification: dark portals are scattered about the battle maps, releasing dark energy into the world and occasionally producing additional monsters to contend with.
		Not only can La Pucelle's members close these portals by purifying them, they can also strategically direct the dark energy pouring out of them at their enemies for additional damage and super attacks.
		Character advancement is similarly nuanced -- in addition to the standard equipment and experience points, purifying dark portals upgrades your equipment, which will help upgrade your characters' stats.

		Although Dark Version is taking over about ten versions, only about three of those are currently active.
