Venus


 * This article is about the element. For the Summon sequence, see Venus (summon).

Venus is the element of Earth. It is represented in various forms of plants and rocks as well as death curses and vital blessings. Venus is symbiotic with Mars, neutral toward Mercury, and is in conflict with Jupiter.

Characteristics
The element of Venus is said to be represented by mankind, who is stated to rule the land with wisdom. Offensive Venus-based Psynergies involve the manipulation of plants, rocks, or earth in general. Like Jupiter, offensive Venus-based Psynergies are generally balanced between Power-based Psynergies, like the Growth Psynergy series, and Attack-based Psynergies, like Ragnarok. The Venus element is also the source of several Utility Psynergies, such as Grip, Carry, Grind and others.

One other aspect of Venus is its apparent affiliation with life and death. The Condemn Psynergy provides a chance to instantly down its target, while Haunt and Curse provide various damaging effects invoking spirits. On the other hand, Venus is also the source of the Cure Psynergy series, a useful single-target heal, although it is not as potent as the Mercury-based Ply Psynergy series. Perhaps most usefully, Venus is the source of the Revive Psynergy, which brings a fallen character back to full health.

Adepts of the Venus element

 * Isaac
 * Felix
 * Matthew
 * Himi
 * Kyle
 * Lady Uzume (uses Move and able to detect Mind Read)
 * Susa (mentioned in The Lost Age as capable of using Psynergy but not shown)
 * Kushinada (same as Susa)
 * Takeru (like his parents and sister)

Most Venus Adepts are mainly found in the town of Vale and the island-nation of Nihan. Venus Adepts from Vale gain their powers from the Psynergy Stone deposits in and around Vale and Mt. Aleph. Meanwhile, Adepts from Nihan gain their powers from nearby Gaia Rock, a potent source of Venus-based Psynergy. Unlike the other three Lighthouses, there is no notable signs of a Venus-clan near Venus Lighthouse. However, the long-gone civilization of Ankohl, of which Obaba is the last living descendant, appears to have been based on the Venus element.

Many Venus Adepts show impressive and determined leadership qualities. Each game in the Golden Sun series has had a Venus Adept (namely Isaac, Felix and Matthew) as the party leader. In addition, the Venus Adepts Uzume and Himi hold various leadership positions in Nihan. They are generally calm, but can be fierce when necessary.
