[edit] Appearances
Maxwell is the Summon Spirit of Elemental, and he is considered the Lord of the Four Elements. He typically appears as a floating old man.
[edit] Tales of Phantasia
Maxwell appears as an old man riding on an orb. Found in the Morlia Mineshaft, the party seeks his help to obtain the pact ring needed for Luna, though to talk to him, the party requires Claus F. Lester to have pacts with the Four Elemental Spirits: Sylph, Undine, Efreet, and Gnome. He agrees to help the party without battle and powers up Gungnir as well.
Maxwell requires the Turquoise Ring to forge a pact, granting Claus with the power to summon him in battle.
[edit] Tales of Eternia
Maxwell represents one of the Greater Craymels and is one of the Supreme Craymels, the strongest Craymels in the world. The Elemental Craymel governs the use of all elemental element spells. He is an optional boss, found in the basement of Farlos Sanctuary when using the legendary Seyfert Key on the statue of Seyfert in the back of the church. He is extremely old and has the personality of an old man, even going into the wrong Craymel Cage when prompted.
Maxwell himself can be summoned through the arte "Maxwell".
[edit] Tales of Symphonia
Maxwell, the Ancient Ruler of the Elements, appears as an old man riding on a platform. It's optional to acquire him. Appearing in Exire, he is the Summon Spirit of Birth. His monument in Exire requires a key to activate, that being the pact rings of the cardinal elements of Wind, Water, Fire and Earth—a reference to his Tales of Phantasia incarnation. Once each member of the party equips one of these rings, Maxwell can be summoned and fought, but only after the party has received the Derris Emblem in Welgaia.
Maxwell is responsible for keeping the half elf sanctuary of Exire afloat. Mithos made a pact with Maxwell and founded Exire with his help, with the intention of creating a place half elves could call home. As part of Sheena's vow (the promise necessary to bind summoner to spirit) she requested that Maxwell continue to suspend Exire in the skies of Tethe'alla.
He is able to be summoned through the arte Summon: Birth (降霊召符・元 Koureishoufu: Moto?).
[edit] Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon
Maxwell is the Lord of the Four Elementals and one of the twelve Spirits which must be fought during the Ordeal of Spirits. He appears on the last level of the Tower of Mystery in AC.4306 and is the boss of that dungeon. Once defeated, he teaches Mel and Dio the spirit of inquiry (たんきゅうしん tankyuushin?).[1]
[edit] Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage
Fulien K. Lester can summon Maxwell as a unit.
