Stop Flow (ストップフロゥ Sutoppufurou?) is a recurring arte in the Tales series.

Arte Description and History[]

Stop Flow, like the name suggests, stops the flow of time for a short while. In the original Tales of Destiny and localized as Stasis, it is a strike arte used by Philia Felice. It does not have casting time, but on some occasionally, Philia is unable to act for the duration of the effect. It becomes a spell in the PlayStation 2 remake of Tales of Destiny and is then made an altered arte spell for Raven in Tales of Vesperia. In the PlayStation 3 and Definitive Edition versions of the game, Raven needs to rest every three casts. As Raven uses the arte more, the amount of casts before needing to rest increases, but the need for rest cannot be altogether eliminated. The arte then reappears in Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2 as a linked arte between Rowen Ilbert and Leia Rolando when they combine the artes Quickness and Tightening Chains, metaphorically implying the binding of time or movement. Maxwell is able to use this arte by himself.
