Holy Song (ホーリーソング Hooriisongu?) is a significant story-related support spell in the Tales series.
Arte Description and History
This spell involves spreading a holy and invigorating light across the full battlefield to boost all party members' stats while providing a small healing effect.
In the Nintendo GameCube release of Tales of Symphonia, this arte could be used by players in order to get Colette Brunel's mystic arte, Holy Judgment easily, as its use normally leads to a targeting marker appear on an ally. When it does not appear, it means that Holy Judgment will instead be used. This feature was removed in all subsequent releases. It is also the arte that Colette will contribute to a Unison Attack in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
In Tales of the Abyss, this arte appears as one of Tear Grants's Fonic Hymns. It heals the party for a small amount of HP and increases their physical attack and defense for a minute. It does the same effects in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
