Trivia

The spikes variant of Expiration in Awakening.
  • The concept of Dark Spikes is presumably taken from one of the two animations of Expiration, the Creation/Grima's other attack, in Awakening, where Grima would attack a target by summoning purple spikes. Grima also does this in the opening cutscene of his chapter, bringing all units' HP down to one (although health is restored prior to the map beginning).
