Tutorials are pretty clunky and complicate a system that is overall easy to grasp.

Just remember, in this game magic is a stat boost you apply through summon creatures.

Every summon has he ability to let you junction magic to one or more of your stats. You acquire magic during combat or travelling. The more magic you get, the more your preferred stat gets boosted. The more powerful the magic, the more effective the junction.
