Fairy Circle

Fairy Circle (フェアリーサークル) is a helpful spell in the Tales series. It heals party members almost to full while occasionally damaging opponents.

Arte Description and History
Fairy Circle is a mystic arte used by Raine Sage in the PlayStation 2 version of Tales of Symphonia, obtained after mastering Revitalize. After Raine executes the spell, four butterfly-themed fairies appear in the center of the battle field and symmetrically fly outwards in a spiral pattern until they reach the edge of the battle field, creating a detailed glyph printed full of runes and leaf-like patterns as they fly. Once the glyph has formed, spheres of light rise up, purifying all party members excluding those that are knocked out by completely restoring their HP and curing them of any status ailments before finally granting them a stat boost in Attack, Defense and Magic. While party members are being cured and boosted, the circle also flashes with holy energy of the element of light, damaging every single enemy on the field, unless said enemy is unaffected by light magic.

In Tales of the Abyss, Tear Grants can use Fariy Circle as a regular spell when the player casts Healing Circle within a fully charged Wind or Light FOF circle. The style of Tear's Fairy Circle is similar to Raine's, but differs in the patterns of runes and leaf-like images. There are also only three fairies that look more like actual fairies than the butterfly-like creatures shown in Raine's version. This version has an area of effect slightly larger than Healing Circle, drastically reduced in range compared to the version in Tales of Symphonia which affects the entire field. It gradually heals a moderate amount of health within the circle while curing all negative statuses. All enemies within the circle are dealt moderate Wind elemental damage at the same time.

In Tales of Hearts, Fairy Circle is a Combination Arte, performed by Amber Hearts using Air Thrust and Jadeite Hearts using Cure.

In Tales of Graces, Fairy Circle is a standard healing spell in Cheria's repertoire. Her version only summons two fairies to weave the area of effect. In addition, her version has no runes or markings within the circle; rather it just produces a rippling effect similar to water.
