Shooting Stars (シューティングスター Shuutingusutaa?, "Shooting Star") is a powerful spell in the Tales series.

Arte Description and History

This spell first appeared in Tales of Eternia as the most powerful elemental spell that can be obtained. When activated, all enemies on the entire battle field are hit by a barrage of energy arcs, lifting them into the air while dealing several rapid hits. This spell is especially powerful against a large group of enemies, and it can be used effectively to create long combo chains. However, due to its long casting time and relatively high TP cost, other spells might be more efficient in dealing damage to a single or small group of enemies. This spell can be accessed only if the Greater Craymels Maxwell and Sekundes are separated into different Craymel Cages, available only to the mage who has Maxwell in their possession.

Furthermore, a hidden effect is available in Tales of Eternia, which allows Arche Klein to be summoned to replace this spell's activation, if Maxwell is at MAX Vitality during battle. Once summoned, Arche can be controlled by the spellcaster for a short time, allowing her to move in any direction and use one of three elemental spells with specific button presses. Arche's abilities are a direct reference to the Groovy Arche minigame within Tales of Phantasia, later developed into a cellphone-based game that is part of the Tales of Mobile series of games.

Shooting Stars is changed to an Ice-elemental spell in Tales of Legendia, during which the enemy is barraged by stars of ice. This spell ranks among the strongest high-tier spells learned by characters in the game.

In the PlayStation 3 version of Tales of Graces, Shooting Stars is added to Richard's movelist as one of his unique spells. When activated, the entire battlefield changes to a view of outer space where shooting stars attack from far off in the distance, quickly streaking horizontally through the enemies. The stars push the targets toward Richard, who can prepare a counterattack as they come within range.

Shooting Star is one of Edna's mystic artes in Tales of Zestiria, in which she fires a barrage of Earth-elemental bullets from her umbrella, which she is riding. Next, she flies by her enemy, who is attacked by a circle of ice shards. In the air, atop her umbrella, Edna is surrounded by a brown emblem, and from tips of her left hand's fingers, she releases a black sphere with golden glow on her enemy, which explodes in a gold light with a purple aura when it makes contact with her opponent. As the arte finishes, Edna flies off her umbrella in the foreground.
