Grave (グレイブ / グレイヴ Gureibu / Gureivu?, "Glaive"), also localized as Spike, is a low- to mid-tier Earth-elemental spell in the Tales series.
Arte Description and History
In most games, this spell causes several rock spikes to rise from the ground, causing damage to the enemy. In Tales of Symphonia, this spell can be chosen over its sister spell, Stalagmite, for Genis Sage, though it is automatically acquired by Kratos Aurion and Zelos Wilder, regardless of what their type is. It should be noted that in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Zelos has the spell Stalagmite instead. In Tales of Legendia, this spell only causes a single spike to appear, making it one of the novice-tier spells instead of its usual, intermediate-tier spell status.
