Flare arrow (Japanese. 炎の矢フレア・アロー, Kanji translation: Flame Arrow, Romaji: furea arō) is one of the simplest fire shamanistic spells[1][2].

Two versions of the spell exist: The first one enables the caster to shoot an arrow of flame from a bow made of similar fire energy. The second one causes several arrows to appear in the air in front of the caster, and advance toward their target(s) immediately. In this case, the number of arrows depend on the skill of the caster and the amount of magic power put into the spell. (See bucket capacity.)

Although the spell is indeed simple, a Flare Arrow can still cause serious damage to a human on a direct hit. However, like many low-level fire spells, the caster can 'pull punches' with it, only putting enough energy into it to singe their target without any real damage.

Trivia[]

  • Flare Arrow appears in the trading card game Slayers Fight during its first season, as card #152.
  • Though Sylphiel's Flare Carrot is a well-known running-gag among fans, this event only takes place in the anime. In the Slayers Special novels it's the vampire Steindolf the one who doesn't know how to properly cast the spell, taking in this case, in Lina's words, "the size of a carrot", while also being extremely slow. So slow that Steindolf grabbed the "arrow" with his bare hands and took it closer to Lina.
  • In the Slayers: Super-Explosive Demon Story manga Sylphiel also tries to cast a Flare Arrow, only for it to took this time the shape of a pig's tail.
