Ice Tornado as it appears in Tales of Phantasia (iOS).
Ice Tornado (アイストーネード / アイストルネード Aisutooneedo / Aisutoruneedo?) is a classic intermediate-level spell in the Tales series that is usually either Water- or Ice-elemental.
Arte Description and History
When the spell is activated, a light blue vortex of snow and ice appears, surrounding and damaging the enemy. In later games, a "lift" effect is added, allowing enemies to be launched into the air with this spell. This spell tends to have a moderate effect range and good combo potential, making it one of the more useful spells of its damage range.
