Flare (Final Fantasy IV)

Flare is a high-level Black Magic spell in Final Fantasy IV. It can also be used through Cid's Flare Sledgehammer when attacking with it.
Flare can be used as an enemy ability by Zeromus EG, Dark Bahamut, Zeromus, Wicked Mask, Flan Master, Proto Deathmask, and Brachioraidos.
==Use==
Flare is the strongest single-target spell in the game, only being beaten out by Meteor in power. Due to it being non-elemental, it is effective against all enemies, and will see much use in boss battles at the end of the game, whereas in random encounters, it may not be used as much if the player wants to conserve MP or, in larger enemy groups, the player has obtained Bahamut. The player must be wary of using it against enemies that can cast Reflect, such as Deathmask, as it will more than likely instantly kill whoever it targets on the player's side.
