Holy Judgment as it appears in Tales of VS.
Holy Judgment (ホーリージャッジメント / ホーリー・ジャッジメント Hooriijadjimento / Hoorii Jadjimento?) is a mystic arte used by Colette Brunel from Tales of Symphonia.
Arte Description and History
In this mystic arte, Colette begins the chant to Holy Song but messes up halfway through. At first, nothing happens, but then the effects of Holy Song begin, accompanied with rays of holy light raining down upon all foes from Judgment, inflicting massive damage. It is a representation of Colette's phenomenal luck, where her mistakes can turn out to be helpful to her in end.
In Tales of Symphonia, the accidental nature of this mystic arte is emphasized by the method of accessing it, as it randomly replaces either Holy Song or Judgment when Colette obtains proficiency in both. There is an exploit in the Nintendo GameCube release of the game, where the player can repeatedly cast and cancel Holy Song. Because Holy Song is classed as a support spell, it causes a target marker to appear on an ally's portrait. Holy Judgment lacks that marker, so if it does not appear, the player is assured this mystic arte. The exploit is removed from all future releases.
In Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, an interpunct is added between "Holy" and "Judgment".
