Swirling Storm (渦巻く嵐 Uzumaku Arashi) is a spell possessed by Shamal to launch a whirlwind afront in the portable continuity. Notably, she has never cast nor been described as capable of such attack in the primary continuity.
Shamal generates a whirlwind that swirls to the front for a certain range to attack. It is considered an offensive variation of Wind Shield, in which she generates a flat whirlwind afront for defensive purpose instead.
Name
Notably, this attack is first seen in The Battle of Aces as the charged version of Wind Shield without naming separately, i.e. remaining as Wind Shield in canonical materials. It is later named in The Gears of Destiny.
