Crimson Blade

Crimson Blade is the evolutionary form of Blazing Sword. While the effects may seem similar at first, this spell works without having to touch or wave the hand over the steel saber, dramatically reducing the invocation and charge up time. Crimson Blade enchants the sword with a stronger fire elemental property that lasts longer. While most wielders use this in their advantage of rapid invocation to follow up the spell with a successive sword strike, doing so is not exactly a requirement. Crimson Blade is more often considered a full attack spell compared to Blazing Sword because of the swifter opportunity to invoke and strike within a short period of time. This is essentially a full upgrade to Blazing Sword in every way imaginable.

Predecessor Spells: Blazing Sword

Effect

Attack Form: Elemental Infusion
Attack Type: Fire Elemental Enchantment Effect + Fire Elemental Magical Damage
Glyphring: Generation Only

Side/Secondary Effects

If the sword is generated through a glyphring, the blade and the aura itself will take twice as long to invoke, while aura itself will last for only half the average duration than when used normally.

Manifestation

The blade becomes engulfed in a blaze of fire magic, which arguably does not appear as ordinary fire and flames. Fire magic is aesthetically enhanced to flow with lower amplitudes and higher bloom effects, while the coloration deteriorates over time from a strong yellow glow to a dim orange haze of embers. This spell uses fire with a stronger orange-red glowing effect. The handle of the sword is not affected by the aura, elsewise the wielder would be burned by their own spell. The aura stays attached to the blade during its entire lifetime, and inflicting damage on another target does not affect the remaining lifespan of that aura.
