First Aid (ファーストエイド Faasutoeido?) is a classic healing spell in the Tales series. It is usually the first healing spell to be usable with a low TP cost and casting time, restoring a small amount of HP to one ally.
Arte Description and History
First Aid has appeared in most of the games in the series as the most basic healing spell that support-based characters can learn. Its low TP cost and casting time makes it useful early in the games, but later healing techniques can be more effective due to either increased strength or group healing ability in one cast, despite their higher costs.
Although First Aid does not make it as an in-battle arte in Tales of Destiny 2, Atwight Eks uses First Aid when she displays the power of her Swordian to heal the hurt Laville Clemente at Dycroft. In Tales of the Abyss, Tear Grants's First Aid can also heal "Poison" if it is equipped with a "Grass Chamber". If it is used within a Water or Dark FOF Circle, it will turn into Meditation. In Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, monsters can learn the spell if they are given the "Undine's Tears" grimoire. Because it is Water-elemental, it will affect the Elemental Grid.
