Stone Blast

Stone Blast as it appears in Tales of Destiny (PSX).

Stone Blast (ストーンブラスト, Sutoonburasuto^?) is a classic Earth-elemental spell in the Tales series, commonly appearing in the novice tier of damage.

Arte Description and History

When the spell is used, small stones are shot from the ground below the enemy, causing a moderate amount of damage within a small range. The original spell in Tales of Phantasia is the reverse of this, releasing a large number of stones from directly above the enemy to pelt them into the ground. Both iterations of the spell are moderately useful in creating combos early in their respective games. As a passive skill in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, it gives the user the chance to cast Stone Blast while performing normal attacks.
