Shining Bind

Shining Bind (シャイニング・バインド) is an Angelic Mystic Arte appearing in many games, mostly used by Kratos Aurion, and Zelos Wilder, who also has a second Mystic Arte named Divine Judgment.

Arte description and history
The Mystic Arte first saw its light in Tales of Symphonia's PlayStation 2 version, and is used by Kratos Aurion and Zelos Wilder. The two characters creates a seal of light around them and all other foes near, damaging the foes as the seal is formed. Once enough energy has accumulated, a cut-in picture of Kratos or Zelos is shown before the light rises up as towering pillars, and Kratos or Zelos hovers above the ground. By using this arte the first time, Zelos will learn the Angel Skill Judgment.

It reappears again in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology as a Mystic Arte for both Kratos and the Magic Knight class. However, the incantation and cut-in picture are removed, and the arte itself is noticable shorter.

When Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World was released, Zelos uses Shining Bind as his Mystic Arte, although it is now influenced by the Lightning attribute, and changed to an almost unrecognizable point. First, he puts his sword on his sholder as he summons an angelic circle beneath of him. Then he jumps from the shining circle and into the air, summoning his orange wings, and three pillars of magenta light sprouts out; one around him, and two at his sides.

In Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, Zelos replaces Shining Bind with Divine Judgment as his Mystic Arte, and it will once again be the Mystic Arte of the Magic Knight class and Kratos.
