Inspect Lid’s Stone and MP at the mountain save point. A Vision swap may have changed the commands you expected to use. The paid shortcut affects travel, not the required affinity or the exit battle.
Answer the dangerous action
The electric charge leads into the large Lightning attack. Use Earth to approach a break, then decide whether the remaining gauge can be removed before it resolves. Megavolt can Paralyze the actor whose heal you planned next; put a cure on another available character and inspect the status indicator.
