Combustion

Combustion is a pyromancy in Dark Souls.

Availability

 * Laurentius of the Great Swamp sells it in Firelink Shrine after his rescue in the Depths.
 * Quelana of Izalith sells it in Blighttown.

General Information
Each slot of combustion has sixteen casts. Combustion is a short-range pyromancy: when cast, players emit a burst of flame from their hand. Combustion deals relatively high fire damage especially when considering the earliness with which it can be obtained. It is surpassed by its more potent cousin, Great Combustion.

Overview
With 16 casts per slot, combustion grants players a generous portion of fire damage to their arsenal. In many ways, combustion can be seen as another form of melee attack, except that it cannot be parried and has a larger hitbox than most weapons. In PvE, combustion is an excellent supplement to melee attacks, especially against creatures that block with shields as it will usually still deal a high amount of damage to them through shield.

In PvP, combustion is not very popular due to the prevalence of Great Combustion.
