Effects and uses of Incendio

Fire attribute attack with short range

Fire attribute attack with short range

Incendio is a fire attribute attack with the second highest firepower after Diffindo. The downside is that it has a short range. Its recommended to use Accio first before casting Incendio to compensate for the range. Enemies hit by Incendio receive continuous burn damage within a time frame which causes explosive flames when damaged.

Use as a gimmick to light a fire

Incendio is used as a device or candlestick gimmick that moves when lit. However, the magic range is very short, so use Confringo for distant gimmicks instead.
