Bayle's Flame Lightning is a Dragon Communion incantation in Elden Ring. It is part of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
Bayle's Flame Lightning is one of the greatest Dragon Communion incantations, harnessing the dread dragon Bayle, whose heart keeps resisting subjugation and may one day consume its devourer. It channels Bayle's form into the caster's right arm to smash foes with a talon bone coursing with flame lightning, exploding at the point of impact with a mix of physical, lightning and fire damage. The cast has some hyper armor to absorb a hit or two, and enemies that walk into the impact point afterward still take damage. Two Dragon Communion Seals and the Rock Heart boost it, but the Heart of Bayle buys only it or Bayle's Tyranny, never both. It suits Dragon Communion builds that want a heavy close-range slam.
Effect
Channels Bayle the Dread's arm to smash foes with a talon bone wreathed in flame lightning, exploding at the point of impact. Each cast costs 43 FP and takes up two memory slots.
How to Get Bayle's Flame Lightning Guide

Notes
The Dragon Communion Seal and the Rock Heart boost it.
"One of the greatest Dragon Communion incantations. Harnesses the fearsome power of Bayle the Dread. Channels the form of the dread dragon in the right arm to smash foes with an exposed talon bone coursing with flame lightning. Even after being consumed, the throbbing heart of Bayle continues to resist its subjugation, never weakening. One day, the fire within will consume the very body and soul of its Communion devourer. One day."
