Firaja

Firaja , also known as Fire 4 and Fire IV, is a recurring tier four Fire-elemental spell which deals massive damage.
==Overview==
Firaja is the third, and often final, upgraded form of the default Fire Black Magic. The spell made its first appearance in the series in Final Fantasy Tactics, being the last fire-elemental Black Magick spell for Black Mages. Since its original appearance, Firaja has had a handful of appearances in the mainline entries, appearing more in side titles.
Firaja deals a massive amount of fire damage to targets, unleashing a chain of explosions on enemies. Most titles give the spell the ability to target multiple enemies, with only some entries having it be a single target spell. Final Fantasy XII and the Crystal Chronicles titles give Firaja the ability of inflicting status ailments on the damaged targets. Undead and plants are usually weak to Firaja, while fire-based enemies will be healed if struck by it.
A recurring trait of Firaja is its association with summoned monsters, with the most recurring users being Belias and Ifrit. In addition, Firaja is sometimes not usable by players, but instead a powerful spell used by bosses or high leveled enemies. 
Due to spells often attempting to use four katakana characters in Japanese, the spell is known as Fija . Fire is spelled as ), with the last mora character being changed for its upgraded forms. Firaja is used in localizations to keep the "r" sound needed to recognize the root word in English.
