Spark Wave

Spark Wave (スパークウェブ) is a spell found in some games of the Tales series. It is an electrical based spell and appears either as a Lightning element spell or, should the Lightning element be missing, a Wind element spell.

Arte Description and History
Spark Wave is a spell that causes a ball of electricity, or 'sparks', to appear that hurts any opponent touching it. It is a moderately powerful spell that deals several rapid hits, making it one of the more useful spells to use in combos during battle.

In Tales of Symphonia, this spell is available to Genis Sage, if he is Strike-based at Level 26 with Lightning used at least 50 times, while Thunder Blade is not learned. Spark Wave is required for the use of the more powerful multi-elemental spells Thunder Arrow and Earth Bite. However, because Genis cannot learn both Spark Wave and Thunder Blade at the same time, he cannot gain access to Indignation, or to his mystic arte Indignation Judgment, without the use of a glitch or cheat devices. Spark Wave can also be used by several enemies in the game, including Kvar, the Drake in the Meltokio Colosseum, and the second form of the final boss. The technique costs 26 TP to use, dealing electrical damage.

Spark Wave also appears in Tales of the Abyss, where it can be used solely by Anise Tatlin. Spark Wave is achieved by using the Light arte Limited within a fully charged Wind or Light FOF circle. Should this happen a ray will be called down upon the opponent, similar to Limited, but explode into a ball of electricity that deals Wind damage afterwards. The arte can be used by any enemy who has the Limited spell (i.e. Arietta) as well. No character, enemy or friend, is capable of using Spark Wave without the aid of an FOF circle. As such, the move costs the same as Limited's 10 TP.
