Meteor

Meteor is a Summon of the Mars element. It is one of sixteen summons that is automatically available to the player once the required Djinn are gathered. For a successful summoning of Meteor, the player must have four Mars Djinn on standby. In Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, Meteor resembles a gargantuan flaming rock from outer space, falling onto the battlefield in a blinding explosion. In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, the sequence is expanded, showing a larger asteroid being shot from an asteroid belt. While falling through the atmosphere, the asteroid breaks up, with one large flaming rock eventually striking the enemies.

Meteor has a base Mars power of 240 and also does additional damage equivalent to 12% of the enemy’s maximum HP. In addition, Meteor will also raise the caster's Mars Power by.

Out of the Mars-aligned summons, Meteor is likely to see the most use, and is one of the more widely used of all summons. It is twice as powerful as Tiamat and four times as powerful as Kirin while only using twice the amount of standby Djinn of Kirin. Meteor is commonly used against bosses with Mars-weaknesses, such as Poseidon.

Origin: Unknown

In astronomy, the term Meteor specifically refers to the visible path of a meteoroid during its decent through the atmosphere, i.e. the flaming portion of the meteoroid.

While Meteor is not in any specific mythology, meteors are considered a possible end of the world. Meteors are sometimes considered a sign of coming misfortune, as the Aztec people saw a meteor before the arrival of the Spaniards.
