Indignation

Indignation (インディグネイション / インデグニション) is a powerful spell that has been featured in most games of the Tales series. It is famous as the first spell to be presented in the series, as the spell that Edward D. Morrison casts at the start of Tales of Phantasia. Since then, it has appeared in many later games with similar incantations and effects.

Skill description and history
Generally, this spell is best described to summon a massive lightning bolt to do a single hit of lightning element damage (or light or wind, depending on the game's elemental system). It is usually the highest-level and most powerful spell of its element that can be learned.

The Indignation spell first appeared in the opening scene of Tales of Phantasia, as the spell that forced Dhaos to escape through time to avoid an almost certain defeat during the original past timeline of Aselia's history.

Since this time, Indignation has become a standard addition to most of the Tales games, usually appearing as a standard third-tier spell. In Tales of Eternia, this spell can be extended as a Hi Ougi, but this can be done only once in any full playthrough, during the battle with the Craymel Spirit of Time, Sekundes. The resulting scene is a cameo of the opening scene from Tales of Phantasia, with the same full incantation and a duplicate reaction by Sekundes, finishing the battle with a one-hit kill. (The English localization cut out Sekundes' voice from this scene, so it appears as a monologue for whoever casts the Hi Ougi spell extension instead.)

In Tales of Symphonia, Indignation could also become a Hi Ougi. Once he had cast the spell enough, Genis Sage was capable of extending the spell into the upgraded Indignation Judgement during Over Limit. Despite Indignation's origin as the antethesis to the villain, Mithos Yggdrasill also was able to perform both Indignation and, on harder difficulties, Indignation Judgement.

Additionally, Indignation is used as Jade Curtiss' second Hi Ougi, but it is available only if a cleared save game file exists on the memory card. If this restriction is met, the Indignation Hi Ougi can be used at any point in the game, on any save file on the same memory card, if all other in-game conditions are met.

In the Japanese versions of the games with this spell, the spell name has been rendered with different katakana characters throughout the history of the series. All versions of Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon use Indegunishon (インデグニション) to represent this spell. The original Tales of Destiny also uses this same format, but the remake versions use the current Indiguneishon (インディグネイション) form. Every other game in this series uses this current form for the Indignation spell.
