The Army of Sparta is a magic used when in possession of the Blades of Exile. It allows Kratos to summon the spirits of fallen Spartan soldiers, forming a protective phalanx around him. Helios, God of the Sun, used this formation as well, in a vain effort to have his soldiers protect him from Kratos. When the magic is leveled up, there will be more soldiers, they will deal more damage and throw their spears. At the highest level, a rain of arrows can be summoned down after the spear thrust move.
