Guardian Field

Guardian Field (守護方陣) is a swordsman technique from the Tales series.

Skill description and history
Guardian Field is not a typical swordsman skill, rather appearing as a mainstay within the "Magic Swordsman" class from Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. This skill has appeared in only a few of the main games, so it is not well-recognized among players when compared to other traditional swordsman skills. When Guardian Field is activated, a field of light is summoned around or near the character, damaging all enemies within and pushing them away while lightly healing all allies within the same area. This skill is slow to execute, making it extremely impractical for combo purposes, but it can be useful to help protect and heal party members.

In Tales of the Abyss, this skill creates a mid-level Light FOF circle, which can be used strategically to create an FOF Change with other attacks. Additionally, the skill itself can be used within a complete Water or Dark FOF circle to convert it into Guardian Frost.
