Shining Gate (ブライティストゲート / ブライティスト・ゲート Buraitisutogeeto / Buraitisuto Geeto?, "Brightest Gate") is one of the several extensions to the mystic arte Dual the Sol, appearing in Tales of Eternia, Tales of Rebirth, and Tales of Graces ƒ.
Arte Description and History[]
In all of its appearances, this attack is activated by pressing a series of buttons on the controller during the animation of the previous extension. If the buttons are not pressed in time, then Shining Gate will not activate. In Tales of Eternia, the Greater Craymels Sekundes and Maxwell also have access to this arte without requiring the previous extensions, after losing a specific amount of health based on difficulty settings. When used by Sekundes in the Japanese version, he says Tetra Spell instead of the arte's name as he is using voice lines from Dhaos in the PlayStation version of Tales of Phantasia.
Because this is part of a long extension chain, it has a short duration and animation, involving the center of the field transforming into a bright star or vortex field. A celestial wonder then shrouds the entire field before damaging all enemies by radiating from the "gate". In Tales of Rebirth the interpunct between "Brightest" and "Gate" is removed.
