Wind Blade (ToV)

Wind Blade as it appears in Tales of Vesperia.

Wind Blade (ウィンドカッター / ウインドカッター Windokattaa / Uindokattaa?, "Wind Cutter") is a classic Wind novice-tier spell in the Tales series.

Arte Description and History[]

The first version of this spell in Tales of Eternia simply involved the enemy being cut by two blades of wind. In Tales of Symphonia, it was modified to a sphere of small wind blades that surround and lacerate the enemy for a couple of seconds. This became the most typical and recognizable animation for the spell, as it is reused in Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3, Tales of the Tempest, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3, Tales of the World: Reve Unitia and Tales of the Rays.

In Tales of Innocence, the spell was changed drastically, now sending out three horizontal wind blades like projectiles toward the enemy. This animation is meant to mirror Aqua Edge and Fire Ball, which traditionally had the same kind of projectile effect. The wind blades will shoot toward the location of the enemy when the spell itself was cast, so it could miss the enemy if it moves to the side, or if it is launched into the air by other characters. This animation would be reused in Tales of VS.. It was changed again in Tales of Vesperia, where now one single wind blade slashes any enemies in its path. This spell affects only a short distance from the caster, and its range cannot be extended, so it is used best as part of a melee attack combo. In Tales of Innocence R and Tales of Hearts R, it appears as two and three vertical slashes that goes in a straight line respectively.

Wind Blade (ToX)

Wind Blade as it appears in Tales of Xillia.

Wind Blade becomes a melee arte in Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2. Milla Maxwell and Milla have three versions depending on which of their Wind-elemental spirit artes they alter with their Spirit Shift special ability. The novice version is a quick slash of wind. The intermediate version adds a second slash that takes Milla into the air, while the advanced version adds a small column of wind afterward. Both Maxwell and the Golden Mage Knight - Creator use artes based on Milla's advanced version. Jude Mathis's version alters from his Demon Fist and Double Demon Fist, with the first allowing him to punch out a slash of wind, while a second is summoned by a follow-up kick. It also has a spell version used by enemy mages, where it is essentially a renamed Wind Lance and launches a blade of wind.
