Maybe you could have it so Opal gains spells in a unique way via collecting certain items. For example:seashells would give you the spell, water and apiece of coalwould give you the spell, fire. Since Opal is a prietess she'd be able to enchant the items in various ways to make them stronger by using different minerals and trinkets to embellish them and the limit of how you can customize the items would be the same limit of the player's imagination. For example: a piece of coal wrapped in a charred leaf with ashes sprinkled on it and connected to a pieve of glass would give Opal access to the strongest fire-type spell, Flare which dishes out massive fire damage to all current opponenents, sets all enemies on-screen on fire and ails all on-screen opponenets with the blind status. Another example would be putting a block of ice (or something else cold) in a seashell would give you a spell that combines water and ice,
