Rending Saber (絞牙鳴衝斬 Kouga Meishouzan?, "Strangle Fang Sound Stab Slash"[1]) is Asch's signature mystic arte in Tales of the Abyss.
Arte Description and History
Asch tosses the enemy into the air with a flurry of light rays, then slams his sword into the ground, causing a fonic glyph to appear beneath him and more energy to rise up and damage his opponent, similar to Radiant Howl. Van Grants's Imperial Slaughter is visually similar to this arte, highlighting the teacher-student relationship the two share. Nebilim gains this arte in the North American release of Tales of the Abyss, though it is integrated into the Japanese version with the Nintendo 3DS release.
