Learning the Seal Spell is a requirement. It is given to players as part of the main story and can't be missed. As they progress through the game, players will come across a character named Livia.

Livia is the one who provides the Seal Spell to the players. She can be found near the Rigbarth Outpost and will teach players how to use the Seal Spell once they have made it through a particular portion of the game.

The game will inform players what the Seal Spell can be used for, such as freezing monsters, collecting items from them, and even capturing the monsters themselves to complete quests, contracts, and bounties.

The Seal Spell has multiple uses in Rune Factory 5. It can seal a monster in place so they can't move, making it easier for players to strategize on how to fight them or even collect items without being harmed by the monster.

The primary purpose is to capture these monsters to turn them in for various contracts. Players need to hit the ZL button on their Nintendo Switch controller or Joy-Con.

That will send a spell to freeze the enemy, allowing it to be damaged. Think of it as a Pokemon game. The lower the monster's health, the easier it is for them to be captured.

As players release the ZL button to use the Seal Spell, if enough damage has been done to the monster, they will be given the option to capture them rather than continue the fight to the finish.
