Lightning

Lighting (ライトニング) is a recurring spell in the Tales series. It is usually the novice tier lighting spell. It normally involves a bolt of lighting falling on top of the enemy.

Arte Description and History
In most of its appearances, the spell involves shooting out lighting diagonally toward the enemy. In later versions, when the spell is cast, the spell sends a bolt of lightning straight down from above instead of diagonally. In most games, Lightning is a novice spell.
