Hurricane Thrust (formerly localized as Wind Blade) (風神剣 / 風迅剣) is an upgraded version of the Sonic Thrust skill.

Skill description and history
This skill first appeared in the original Tales of Destiny, as Garr Kelvin's only ranged attack while equipped with a melee weapon or Swordian. If he equips a bow, he loses the ability to use this skill, with all of his other melee skills. When this skill is used, Garr thrusts forward to send a projectile force of wind shear at the target, dealing wind element damage. The remake version maintains the same projectile effect, but the skill can be used at any time because Garr can equip both a bow and his Swordian, Igtenos, at the same time.

In Tales of Symphonia, Hurricane Thrust is the T-line skill variant of Sonic Thrust. When activated, the character thrusts at the enemy with enough power to create a burst of wind when the weapon strikes the enemy, damaging it further. The skill will not continue if the initial thrust misses; the burst of wind will appear only if the attack connects with an enemy. There is no ranged element to this skill in this game.

As it appears in Tales of Rebirth, Fuujinken (Hurricane Thrust) follows the same effect from Tales of Symphonia, as a thrust followed by a burst of wind if it connects with the enemy. However, this skill cannot be learned normally in this game. To use this skill, Veigue Lungberg requires the "Fuujin no Tamashii" accessory to be equipped, to convert his Shunrenjin skill to Fuujinken.

The Hurricane Thrust skill has appeared with two slightly different sets of kanji when written out in Japanese. The skill appears as Fuujinken (風神剣) in all versions of Tales of Destiny and Tales of Rebirth, whereas it appears as Fuujinken (風迅剣) in Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. Both forms are pronounced exactly the same way, and there does not appear to be any correlation between the effect and the kanji used.
