Final Embrace

Final Embrace (インブレイスエンド) is a powerful Water- or Ice-elemental spell and mystic arte that appears in a few games in the Tales series.

Arte Description and History
As it appears in most games, the spell summons several spears of ice to pierce a target, encasing the target within the ice, which is then shattered into pieces. In Tales of Destiny 2, a massive iceberg is dropped from the sky onto the enemies on the field.

The spell first appears in Tales of Destiny 2 as the strongest Water-elemental spell in the game. All three playable female characters learn this spell, but only Reala and Harold Belserius are capable of extending this spell into Aqua Rimms, a mystic arte that summons the Summon Spirit of Water, Undine. The optional boss, Magnadeus, can cast this same spell and extension together as a counter to Resurrection.

In Tales of Rebirth, the spell itself becomes a mystic arte, activated as a combination between Veigue Lungberg and Mao. Mao summons burning bolts from the sky to crash into the enemies, after which Veigue leaps in and slashes multiple times with his sword encased in ice to entomb his foes in a massive iceberg. As one, the two then shoot forward and strike the iceberg.

Final Embrace reappears in the PlayStation 2 remake of Tales of Destiny as Rutee Katrea's third Blast Caliber. In her version, Rutee slashes Atwight and unleashes a wave of frost in front of her. Jumping into the air, she causes icicles to rise out of the frost, piercing her foes. Surrounding everything in an icy cyclone, Rutee calls swords of ice to appear in the air and impale her enemies at once before the frost explodes into a pyre of icy energy. She takes this mystic arte version with her in her cameo battle in the PlayStation Portable release of Tales of Destiny.

In Tales of Xillia 2, Rutee uses this arte in the arena cameo ending, alongside her fellow cameo characters' mystic artes.
