Umbral Flames
Twin torches that stream homing spirit fire. The Special leaves an orbiting ring that blocks enemy projectiles while it spins.
Move set
| Move | Base damage | Magick | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Flames Attack | 15 | — | Channels a stream of spirit motes that grow larger and hit harder the longer you fire. |
Omega Attack Omega | 25 × 4 | 25 | Fires four spiralling spirit orbs that widen as they travel. |
Spiral Orbit Special | 20 | — | Throws flame motes into an orbit around Melinoë that intercepts enemy shots. |
How it plays
Umbral Flames occupy the space between the staff's range and the blades' speed. Sustained fire builds particle size and damage over time, so the weapon favours standing your ground over weaving in and out.
The orbiting ring from Special is genuinely defensive — it destroys incoming projectiles while it circles you. Bosses built around bullet patterns become far more manageable once you keep a ring up.

Aspect of Melinoë
Every spirit mote you fire persists longer before fading and pierces more reliably. A straightforward quality-of-life boost that makes the torch feel far more consistent.
Aspect of Moros
Fireballs from your Attack explode the moment your orbiting ring touches them, dealing area damage. This turns every shot into a chain reaction and makes Moros the highest sustained-damage Aspect on the weapon.
Aspect of Eos
Dashing then attacking summons a large slow-moving wraith that continuously sprays projectiles in all directions. Excellent at zone control, since the wraith keeps dealing damage while you reposition.
