FOEs are applied as ordinary artes for a variety of enemies in Tales of Destiny 2, including a few of the game's notable antagonists. When activated, a fairly large glyph appears around the user, affecting those within. While the effects of FOEs vary, their key purpose is to add a component in the overall mechanics of the battle, and this is accomplished through enhancing the user's abilities or debilitating enemies' abilities. One exception to this is Magnadeus's "Nasake wo kakete yarou" (「情けをかけてやろう」?) FOE, which heals HP to all enemies.
