The above describes how to get a Blizzaga level spell as an Item Drop from the first boss of the game. There is some preamble though. In order to better judge your time, have the seconds visible at the bottom right of your computer screen (Windows 10 has a trick with regedit you can look up). Settings look something like this: https://imgur.com/w8zYLRU

By starting the game (pressing Play on the client, not Steam) at precisely 07:43:16 PM on APRIL 10 2021, the correct seed is set. Continue through the 2 company screens, past the introductory cinematic, and to the Main Menu. I use a mouse to save some time here, so mash leftclick at the "U" on the word Button, so you select New Game right after.

Proceed through the game. Auto Battle takes out the Goblins just fine. Holding Circle to dash (I'm using a PS4 controller), run forward after the fight. Watch the rock cutscene. Interact with it. Another encounter will show up in the passageway. Auto Battle takes out both. Open the Longsword chest. Equip it. Change Config to your preference. DO NOT change Formation to Rear or change anything else. Head to the next room.

Grab the Wind on the left. Run up and another Wind at the right. The next encounter can also be defeated with an Auto Battle (running away fails often in this dungeon, so on average it's faster to fight the enemy). Grab the Potion chest too. Head for the boss door.

Once inside, cutscene plays, fight commences. Choose Antarctic Wind. It gets cast. Luneth takes some damage. Disable Auto Battle (Share button on my controller) after the turtle attack. Choose Item again, but scroll Up once to the weapon display. Now press Share to enable Auto Battle again. Luneth will cast a Wind, but it will not be removed from his inventory. This allows you to stay in Auto Battle for the remained of the fight, having him cast a free Wind as his third attack, defeating the boss. Mashing through the results screen with X, you should see the Arctic Wind drop at the end.

If you learn Item Duplication from this video as well, you can, once you gain more party members, duplicate the Arctic Wind that dropped, in order to have a fleet of Blizzagas at your disposal.

Player 1 (Luneth). Turn 1. Steps forward. Choose Item. Choose Arctic Wind. Steps back.

Player 2 (Arc). Turn 2. Steps forward. Previous player (with Circle).

Luneth. Steps forward. Choose Item. Scroll Up to when weapons are visible. Press and Press Auto Battle (engage and disengage). This will move to Arc, without Arc taking his turn.

Previous player (with Circle) Repeat the Press and Press Auto Battle (engage and disengage). Back to Arc. Repeat these actions, and Arctic Wind in your inventory should increment up by 1 each time. You can increment it more with more players in the party.

The timer on screen just serves as a secondary reference. It does not effect the seed.

I may post more videos of this game in the future, pertaining to the speedrun.
