Apocalyptic Sforzando

Apocalyptic Sforzando (ティーロ・スフォルツァンド) is a linked mystic arte used by Ludger Will Kresnik and Rowen J. Ilbert in Tales of Xillia 2. The Japanese mystic arte name, Tiro Sforzando, translates to shooting sforzando in Italian.

Arte Description and History
Rowen takes out four knives and creates four magic elemental circles around him with them. Reminiscent of a revolver's revolving chambers, each magic circle shoots an elementally charged orb at the target while switching to the next circle in a clockwise direction, Ludger using his guns as a trigger. The first orb explodes into a plume of water, the second orb freezes the plume, the third orb shatters the ice with electricity, and the fourth orb explodes with earthly power. Finally, Rowen shoots a large continuous beam at the target.

A sforzando is a musical notation where the note(s) are played in a dramatic tune, keeping with Rowen's musical theme.
