The Catch Flame is a Fire Giant incantation in Elden Ring.

Catch Flame is an incantation originating from a sinister prophecy, a flame of ruin anathema to the Erdtree that brings only banishment to the prophets who glimpse it. It sparks a short burst of fire from the caster's hand at very close range and comes out without delay after another action, so it can be chain-cast like a melee attack. Its low cost and low Faith requirement make it an efficient melee option for pure faith builds and an easy early pick for anyone with FP to spare. Compared with Bestial Sling it deals much more damage and benefits from fire boosts like the Fire Scorpion Charm, but its tiny range makes it less reliable against fast enemies. Cast right before Magma Breath it greatly shortens that spell's wind up, and it suits Prophets and early faith characters.

Stats


The Catch Flame sparks a short burst of fire from the hand and comes out without delay after a roll, jump or backstep, which makes it a close-range weapon in its own right. It costs 10 FP and can be chain cast for as long as FP lasts.

Effect


Sparks a short burst of flame from the hand at close range and can be cast without delay after another action. Each cast costs 10 FP and 17 stamina and takes up one memory slot.

"Incantation originating from a sinister prophecy. Momentarily sparks flame from the caster's hand. This incantation can be cast without delay after performing another action. The flame of ruin is anathema to the Erdtree. But prophets sometimes glimpse it within the faith all the same. Sadly when this occurs their sole reward is banishment."
