Maxwell (arte)

Maxwell (マクスウェル) and Summon: Birth (降霊召符・元) are artes which summon the Summon Spirit Maxwell.

Arte Description and History
The arte Maxwell usually takes the form of meteors raining down on the enemies.

At first, the meteors bounced around the screen, but later games changed it to them merely falling upon the enemy, similar to the Meteor Storm spell.

Maxwell's Eternia summon is notable for having a long list of extension, aptly named the Maxwell Extensions by fans.

The Symphonia Summon: Birth will increase the party's magical defense as well.
