Flare is a powerful attack Spell, with double the base power of the normal elemental Spells. It strength is the same as its weakness—it is non-elemental. Nothing resists or absorbs Flare, but nothing is weak to it either. Because intelligence plays such a heavy influence on the effects of attack Spells, especially late in the game when Flare is available, Flare is just not that much better than elemental Spells (and isn't even close against Monsters weak to their Element). Then again, if you level it up it is the best attack Spell against a Monster with no weaknesses, so it's still worth using.
