Tech
From Chrono Wiki, a database for the Chrono series that anyone can edit
A Tech (also known as Technique) is a special move that the playable characters can do in Chrono Trigger. Using a Tech costs a certain amount of "MP", with weaker Techs costing little MP and powerful Techs costing a large amount of MP.
To learn more Techs, the character has to earn more TP. For example, Crono can learn Cyclone when he has 5 TP. After speaking with Spekkio, the party can also learn more powerful, magic-based Techs.
