Rock Mountain (ロックマウンテン, Rokkumaunten^?) is an unusual Earth elemental spell that has appeared in a few games up until now.

Arte Description and History

When the spell is cast, giant rocks fall down on the enemy, before it ends with a single, enormous rock that gives extra hits and damage. In Tales of the Abyss, this last stone was changed to a Cheagle statue, possibly of Mieu, as a pun toward their mascot character. In same said game, the arte originally was an FOF changed spell that could only occur if Anise Tatlin was using Miracle Hammer within a fully charged Earth or Dark FOF circle. However, in Anise's later appearance in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, the spell appeared as an ordinary advanced tier spell, looking exactly like the normal version.

In the original Tales of Symphonia, this spell did not appear, but it was added in the PlayStation 2 version, in which two of Genis Sage, Kratos Aurion or Zelos Wilder would have to use their intermediate or advanced Earth tier spells in a Unision Attack.
