Magicite Shards are used to awaken your Visions in Final Fantasy Resonance. A Magicite Shard raises a Vision to its first awakening level, while Magicite and Magicite Crysts are needed for the second and third.
There are over 80 Magicite Shards you can collect from chests, glowing items on the world map, side quests, bosses, the Oblivion Palace vault and the Colosseum. On top of those you can buy more in the Colosseum shop and steal them from Cactuars.
This guide lists every Magicite Shard location in the order you can get them (work in progress, this list will be updated as we go).
