Indignation

From Aselia, the Tales wiki

Jade Curtiss using Indignation in Tales of the Abyss.

Indignation (インディグネイション / インデグニション Indiguneishon / Indegunishon?, "Indignation"[1][2]) is a powerful spell that has been featured in most games of the Tales series. It is famous as the first spell to be presented in the series, as the spell that Edward D. Morrison casts at the start of Tales of Phantasia. Since then, it has appeared in many later games with similar incantations and effects.

[edit] Arte Description and History

Generally, this spell is best described as summoning a single massive bolt of lighnting, which deals one hit of lightning element damage (or light or wind, depending on the game's elemental system). It is the highest-level and most powerful spell of its element that can be learned.

The Indignation spell first appeared in the opening scene of Tales of Phantasia, as the spell that forced Dhaos to escape through time to avoid an almost certain defeat during the original past timeline of Aselia's history. Later in the game, Arche learns it.

Since this time, Indignation has become a standard addition to most of the Tales games, usually appearing as a standard third-tier spell. In Tales of Eternia, this spell can be extended as a mystic arte, but this can be done only once in any full playthrough, during the battle with the Greater Craymel of Time, Sekundes. The resulting scene is a cameo of the opening scene from Tales of Phantasia, with the same full incantation and a duplicate reaction by Sekundes, finishing the battle with a one-hit kill. The English localization cut out Sekundes' voice from this scene, so it appears as a monologue for whoever casts the spell extension instead.

In Tales of Symphonia, Genis Sage is capable of using Indignation to activate the mystic arte Indignation Judgement, while Over Limit mode is active. In Symphonia's sequel, Indignation itself is used as both a normal spell and a mystic arte for Genis. It is also the "Second Movement" for a lightning-elemental monster ally's Unison Attack.

In Tales of Legendia, Indignation is the most powerful thunder-elemental spell in the game, but it is not a very powerful spell overall, dealing rather less damage than most of the other Crystal Eres in the game. It can be learned by both Will Raynard and Shirley Fennes, although Shirley's version has a larger range and pink hue.

Indignation is used as Jade Curtiss' second mystic arte, but it is available only if a cleared save game file exists on the memory card. If this restriction is met, Indignation can be used at any point in the game, on any save file on the same memory card, if all other in-game conditions are met.

In the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia, Rita Mordio gains this as her second Mystic Arte. She unlocks this mystic arte by re-enacting the opening to Tales of Phantasia: in the 200-Man Melee, if she casts Thunder Blade while at Overlimit 4 or above against Dhaos (when he is at half HP or below), the spell will instantly kill him and Indignation will be unlocked for future use.

In the Japanese versions of the games with this spell, the spell name has been rendered with different katakana characters throughout the history of the series. All versions of Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon use (インデグニション Indegunishon?) to represent this spell. The original Tales of Destiny also uses this same format, but the remake versions use the current (インディグネイション Indiguneishon?) form. Every other game in this series uses this current form for the Indignation spell.[2]
