Volt (ヴォルト Voruto?) and Summon: Lightning (降霊召符・雷 Koureishoufu: Kaminari?) are artes that summon the Summon Spirit of Lightning, Volt.
Arte Description and History
As the arte summoning the Summon Spirit of Lightning, all of the artes are lightning-related. Volt first appears in Tales of Phantasia under the command of Klarth F. Lester. When summoned, Volt appears in the middle of the screen and then proceeds to rain down lightning. The rest of Volt's incarnations will perform similar attacks, though in Tales of Eternia, Volt will follow it up by leaving miniature balls of lightning to continue dealing damage as they bounce along the bottom of the screen, while with Summon: Lightning in Tales of Symphonia, Volt will heal the party's status ailments.
