Sylph (arte)

Sylph (シルフ), along with Sylphis Tear (シルフィスティア) and Summon: Wind (降霊召符・風), are artes which summon the Summon Spirit of Wind, Sylph.

Arte Description and History
As the arte summoning the Summon Spirit of Wind, all of the artes are wind-related.

Sylph first appears in Tales of Phantasia under the command of Klarth F. Lester. When summoned, Sylphs create a tornado localized around one enemy. This tornado effect follows Sylph in its appearance in Tales of Eternia, where it will actually lift enemies into the air.

As a consumable item in Tales of Destiny, Slyph uses cutting gales to slice the enemy instead.

Sylphis Tear in Tales of Destiny 2 combines the two effects, with Sylph attacking with cutting wind before summoning tornadoes which fling all the enemies into the air.

Summon: Wind in Tales of Symphonia is much different, where the three faeries who collectively make up Sylph individual do attack. Sephie attacks first, followed by Yutis who fires off a few arrows, and finishing off with Fairess who tackles her opponents with her shield.
