Flamesparka

Flamesparka is a magic ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It is a compound ability that combines the Fira and Thundara spells, dealing magic fire and lightning-elemental damage to multiple foes. It is the upgraded form of the Flamespark spell.
==Obtained==
Flamesparka is one of the few magic abilities that does not have a garb exclusive version. It can only be obtained as a drop from the Aster Protoflorian and Aster Protoflorian Ω enemies; the former with a 22.5% rate, while the latter has a 100% drop rate. The enemies drop different levels of the ability on the following days and difficulties:
Enemy 	Lv. 1 	Lv. 2 	Lv. 3 	Lv. 4 	Lv. 5
Aster Protoflorian 	Day 7 - 9 (Easy/Normal)	Day 10 - 13 (Easy/Normal)	Day 1 - 6 (Hard) 	Day 7 - 12 (Hard) 	Day 13 (Hard)
Aster Protoflorian Ω	- 	Day 1 - 6 (Easy/Normal) 	Day 7 - 9 (Easy/Normal)	Day 10 - 13 (Easy/Normal)	Day 1 - 13 (Hard)
==Mechanics==
When used, Lightning conjurers a fiery explosion and an assault of bolts onto the target, dealing five fire and lightning-elemental magic attacks to foes in the small radius. By default, Flamesparka Lv. 1 has an ATB cost of 40, an attack power of 0.25 (1.25 in total), a Stagger Power of B, and a Stagger Time of E. When fully upgraded, Flamesparka Lv. 5 at max has an ATB cost of 25, an attack power of 1.35 (6.75 in total), a Stagger Power of B, and a Stagger Time of E. 
The boss of the Wildlands main scenario is the only foe that uses Flamesparka against Lightning. They will only perform the attack when under the effects of their Ravager stance.
