In its original appearance, Violent Pain is an arte exclusive to Barbatos Goetia. It provides a charge effect, through which he instantly calls down a burst of dark lightning upon himself, leaving him immobilized for four seconds as lightning continues to strike from above. After the lightning dissipates, he gains an increase to his physical attack while sacrificing his defense. It has the additional property of nullifying the effect of the "All-Divide" item, allowing him to deal full damage to party members while they continue to attack with half of their effectiveness.
