What relation does Image Synthesis from the third game, have to Grathmelding
from the first game?

Because [the Meld~
songs](https://artonelico.wikia.com/wiki/Ar_tonelico_Qoga:_Knell_of_Ar_Ciel_Original_Soundtrack)
of the third game all say "Glassmerk", at the beginning, and sound like the
first game's song for Grathmelding, and "Glassmerk" is the Japanese version of
"Grathmeld".

They have no relationship: Grathmelding was developed in Sol Ciel long after
the Grathnode Inferia, so there is no way it could have spread to the other
regons. Image Synthesis is just typical synthesis, and the synthesis music for
it only has these titles as a callback to AT1, similarly to how the world map
themes ("Green Lands" and "Azure Lands") from both games sound quite similar
to each other.
