[edit] Appearances
Volt is the Summon Spirit of Lightning. In most of his appearances, he is a floating orb of electricity with eyes.
[edit] Tales of Phantasia
Volt appears as a large black orb of lightning. Found in the Volt's Cave, where the Catacombs once were, the party seeks him out ot power the Techbirds. Though the party cannot understand his speech, he nonetheless forges a pact and powers up the Techbirds, as well as Arche Klein's broomstick to the same capabilities.
Volt requires the Sardonyx Ring to forge a pact, granting Klarth F. Lester with the power to summon him in battle. When summoned, Volt appears in the middle of the screen and then proceeds to rain down lightning.
[edit] Tales of Destiny

Volt can be summoned through the consumable item "Bolt," an alternated reading of his name, which is described as an ancient weapon capable of calling forth the lightning spirit. When he is summoned through the use of this item, an old man raises his staff to shoot lightning.
[edit] Tales of Eternia

Volt represents one of the Greater Craymels and one of the Primary Craymels of Celestia. The Lightning Craymel governs the use of all lightning element spells. Found in the Ruins of Volt, the party discovers him in pain and barely able to speak. In his thrashing he attacks the party. Once subdued, Celsius comes out and says there is something wrong. Heeding what words Volt can say, they press the white switch in the room, which frees him. In gratitude, Volt enters the Craymel Cage. As he is the last Celestian Primary Craymel, this event summons Shadow, who gives the party the sword Excalibur.
Volt himself can be summoned through the arte "Volt", where he races across the screen with a wave of electricity, leaving miniature balls of lightning to continue dealing damage as they bounce along the bottle of the screen.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia
Volt, the Hammer of Godly Lightning, appears in as a large orb of purple lightning and is one of the Tethe'allan Summon Spirits. Appearing in the Temple of Lightning, he is the Summon Spirit of Lightning. Years before the start of the game, Sheena Fujibayashi attempted to form a pact with when she was young. But partly because Volt did not speak human language, the pact failed and ended up harming many people from her hometown. Although she's terrified of it now, Sheena meets it again alongside Lloyd Irving and his pals in order to gain power to travel between Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. Though the spirit is tamed this time, with help from Raine Sage who is able to translate Volt's words, it came at an awful price; Corrine sacrificed its life in order to prevent it from killing Sheena. After her adoptive grandfather, the chief of Mizuho awakens in a side-quest, she says in a Z-Skit that she and Volt may now be able to become friends. Volt is used to power the damaged Rheiards.
Once summoned through the arte Summon: Lightning (降霊召符・雷 Koureishoufu: Ikazuchi?), Volt rains lightning down and cures all party members' status effects.
[edit] Tales of Legendia
Volt appears as a glowing ball of light only Grune can see, joining her at the end of Chloe's Character Quest. Acknowledging the role the immaturity of the world has on both Grune and his power, he then rests in Grune's urn as a seed, which Grune then plants.
At the end of the game, Volt is born from this seed as one of the Summon Spirits bequeathed onto the world. Given his nature in other games, he is probably associated with the game's Lightning element.
[edit] Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon
Volt is the Spirit of Lightning and one of the twelve Spirits which must be fought during the Ordeal of Spirits. He is found on the last level of the Cave of Electricity in AC.4354 and is the boss of that dungeon. Upon defeat, he teaches Mel and Dio the heart of earth: ingenuity (ソウイ クフウ soui kufuu?).[1]
[edit] Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage
Fulein F. Lester can summon Volt as a unit.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Though Volt doesn't appear in the game, his home in the Temple of Lightning is where the Centurion of Lightning's, Tonitrus's, is found. In reference to his position as the Summon Spirit of Lightning, his name is attached to monster grimoires which teach lightning elemental artes: Volt's Melancholy, which teaches Thunder Blade and Volt's Whim, which teaches Charge.[2]
