Judgment (ToS)

Judgment as it appears in Tales of Symphonia.

Judgment (ジャッジメント Jadjimento?, "Judgement"), also spelled as Judgement, is a unique and often story-related Light- or Fire-elemental spell that is commonly associated with characters who can use healing magic, providing them with one of their few offensive options during battle. It is also the name of an identification arte used by Philia Felice.

Arte Description and History[]

Judgment (TotA)

Judgment as it appears in Tales of the Abyss.

Judgment's original form is that of an identification arte in Tales of Destiny, literally localized as Identify. It is used by Philia Felice outside of battle to identify unknown items.

In Tales of Symphonia, it is altered to create several pillars of light that strike randomly across the full battlefield for a short period of time, with the implication of divine punishment. This form of the arte is more common than its predecessor, often used in Crossover Titles. The divine nature of the name also factors into its change for Philia in the PlayStation 2 release of Tales of Destiny, where she slashes down with her sword, encased in lightning. The strike knocks her target into the air and then attacks regardless of the distance with a cross of light while healing her for a small amount.

It is also an Angel Skill in Tales of Symphonia, used by most of the angel characters in the game. It has two mystic arte upgrades: Colette Brunel's Holy Judgment and Zelos Wilder's Divine Judgment. In the original GameCube release of the game, Zelos is only able to use it when fought as an enemy, but he gains it as a playable ally in the subsequent releases.

In Tales of the Abyss, Judgment represents the fifth Fonic Hymn, representing the Fonon of Fire, and it can be learned by Tear Grants. The arte is also available to the final boss after he obtains his final form. For Tear to learn the arte, the party must attend a funeral service after clearing the second run through Mt. Zaleho and before the second run through the Absorption Gate.

It is also a strike arte when used by Albert Grandeioza in Tales of Innocence R. He shoots an extremely powerful bullet of light from his gun, similar to an unnamed attack he uses from the original Tales of Innocence.

Despite originally not having it in any other appearances, Dhaos uses Judgment in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, Tales of VS., Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3, and Tales of Crestoria.

Although it is not a spell that any playable character can use, an unnamed spell similar to Judgment can be cast by an angel as a result of Patty Fleur's mystic arte Summon Friends in the PlayStation 3 and Definitive Edition ports of Tales of Vesperia, which will occur if the roulette lands on the wing icon.

In Tales of the Rays, Colette, Mithos, and Magnadeus have access to Judgment in its spell form, while Philia uses Judgment in its strike arte form with the same effects seen in the remakes of Tales of Destiny. Additionally, Philia's version alters into Lightning Saber when standing still or moving or during Burst Limits.

In Tales of Crestoria, Kasque's Judgment differs in appearance from the usual depiction of the arte and is a series of violet thunder bolts of varying sizes striking a magic circle cast upon her foes. Dhaos's Determined Gaze unit has 20% chance to inflict Dispel on all enemies for two turns.

Despite being localized as "Judgment" in Tales of Phantasia, God's Breath has no relation to the actual spell Judgment. The same applies to Judgment in Tales of Legendia, which is the localized name for "God Press", a third unrelated spell.
