==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy XII===
Ardor (Ardour in the PAL version) is the strongest fire-elemental spell that targets all foes in range. Its appearance is unique for a Fire spell as the flames created upon casting are blue instead of the normal red, yellow, or orange; this is to show its increased intensity.
In the original version, Ardor is a Black Magicks spell bought from the bangaa, Burrough, in Barheim Passage after the events in Pharos. It costs 15,600 gil and 70 License Points, and is cast for 60 MP.
Ardor has the maximum Effect Capacity, which means that in the PlayStation 2 versions no other spell or Technick can be performed simultaneously. 
In the Zodiac versions, Ardor has been moved into the Arcane Magicks category and can only be used by Red Battlemage. It's license costs 110 LP. It can be found in a treasure at the Pharos at Ridorana Third Ascent/Spire Ravel - 2nd Flight (hidden area northeast).
Although the basic power of Ardor is second to Scathe (173 compared to 190), being a fire-elemental spell means that the resultant damage can be amplified by certain conditions such as fire-favorable weather, equipping fire-enhancing weapons (e.g. Flame Staff), attacking a target with fire weakness, or suffering the status effect Oil. Combining these factors makes Ardor stronger than Scathe with a lower MP cost.
