Barrier
From Aselia, the Tales wiki
Barrier (バリアー Bariaa?) is a traditional spell that increases one ally's defense. It commonly appears as one of the first supportive spells that a character can learn.

[edit] Arte Description and History
Usually, when this spell is used, the targetted ally is surrounded by a crystal barrier, and his or her defense is raised by a moderate amount. In most recent games, this spell raises the physical defense parameter only, leaving magical defense unchanged.
In Tales of Eternia, this arte is Darkness elemental, and can be used by either Meredy or Keele Zeibel, depending on who is using Shadow's Craymel Cage.
In Tales of Symphonia, Raine Sage eventually learns either Field Barrier or Permaguard after repeated usage of Barrier, depending on which arte branch she is heading toward. In Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, the usage requirement is the same, but all classes with this spell will learn Field Barrier only. The usage requirement was removed in Radiant Mythology 2.
In Tales of the Abyss, the spell is used within a fully charged Water or Dark FOF circle, it will change to Aqua Protection.
In Tales of Vesperia, Estelle can use the arte Variable Hex if she uses this spell while having the "Dispersion" skill equipped.
In Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, the spell is Earth elemental, thus influencing the Elemental Grid when used.
