Nightmare

Nightmare (ナイトメア) is a dark-elemental fonic hymn used by Tear Grants.

Arte history and description
When this arte is activated the enemy is surrounded by purple bubbles that deal damage. The spell has the chance to inflict the "Sleep" status effect on all enemies injured by this attack and creates a 50% charged Dark FOF circle on the field surrounding the area of effect.

Nightmare was first used when Tear Grants invaded the Fabre’s manor at Baticul at the beginning of the game, placing the guards, maids and other employee under sleep in order to take the life of his brother, Van Grants.

After the incident, Tear constantly uses the Fonic Hymn as a mean to avoid unnecessary bloodshed or conflicts as was seen at the invasion of Oracle soldiers onboard the Tartarus and recovering the Albiore's flighstone from Reiner. However if she tries to put asleep a large number of enemies she will faint, as seen with the group of replicas in Daath.
