 Wise and liberal use of Ignis' powers will prove to be fruitful. No longer do out-of-depth [[ogre]]s scare you; they'll be blasted by a Foxfire Swarm. Slightly less tough enemies can be dealt with the cheaper Fiery Armour. And Rising Flame is one of the best panic tools in the game, able to escape most any situation in 2-4 turns -- but only once.
-Cinder Acolytes begin the game with both a flaming weapon and Scorch. The former, while somewhat inaccurate, will deal serviceable damage in melee. The latter will always hit and deals respectable damage even without training any more Fire Magic. Scorch also makes the target vulnerable to fire, so melee-oriented characters will find some use. However, training (much) more magic is ill-advised until you get access to more spells.
