Umbral Flames

“	Ygnium, the Umbral Flames. Incinerate my foe and light my path.	„
	~ Melinoë

The Umbral Flames, Ygnium are Nocturnal Arms that can be unlocked with 3 and 3 .

Book of Shadows entry

'...You are ready for the Umbral Flames of Ygnium. You are ready for them. Why, however, a weapon of light? In light, the darkness deepens, and the shadows dance. That is why. So much the better, then, that you have two such sources.'

Fighting style

Effectively akin to dual-wielding a pair of handguns, this wand pair fires low-strength piercing fireballs at a decent pace and range, and the Special has one orbit you. Charging the Ω Attack switches it to a high-power mode where stronger fireballs are shot at a faster pace with a small Mana cost per shot, and the Ω Special creates a pair of orbiting fireballs. You are still able to move while firing, allowing for a very evasive kiting-style of combat with quite reasonable damage output.

Statistics

Move	Description	Damage	Notes
Attack	Hold Attack to repeatedly fire sparks. Each Attack lasts 1 Sec. before expiring	20	Continuing to hold will begin to channel your Ω Attack.
Ω Attack	Continue Attack to fire larger sparks for 3 each. Each Ω Attack lasts 1 Sec. before expiring	40	Dashing does not interrupt channeling. Unlike other Ω Moves, Ω Attack is affected by Attack speed increase effect, such as Hermes' Nimble Limbs, Phase Shift's Alacrity, and Ares' Blood Drop. Unlike other Ω Moves, Ω Attack is not affected by Eternity. Night only affects only the first hit of Ω Attack and does not affect the subsequent hits. For Aspect of Eos, both Daybreaker and its Specials copy ability fully benefit from Night throughout their entire duration. Ω Attack is well-suited for certain boons and upgrades that synergize with fast-paced Ω Attack or rely on the consistent use of , especially benefiting abilities with short internal cooldowns (e.g., Hera's Fine Line, Zeus's Power Surge, Aphrodite's Heart Breaker, Athena's Righteous Pike, and Icarus' Explosive Intent). This does not apply to Aspect of Eos, as the Daybreaker mechanic replaces the regular Ω Attack.} The additional Ω Attack granted by Exceptional Talent does not trigger on-hit effects (e.g., Poseidon's Splash, Icarus' Explosive Intent). However, they can still apply status curses and activate certain boons that aren’t directly tied to the move itself, such as Zeus' Static Shock and Ares' Cut Above.
Special	Press Special to fire a coiling spark. Each Special lasts 2 Sec. before expiring	25	Spark does not cause hitstun. Spark rotates based on your movement from where it was thrown. The maximum number of Special is capped at 3. Any new Special will replace existing ones, including sparks from Ω Special
Ω Special	Channel Special using 25 to create two, large, rotating sparks. Ω Special last 5 Sec. before expiring	25	Sparks do not cause hitstun. Sparks pierce through enemies. Sparks rotate left or right depending on your movement The additional Sparks granted by Exceptional Talent do not trigger on-hit effects (e.g., Poseidon's Splash, Icarus' Explosive Intent). However, they can still apply status curses and activate certain boons that aren’t directly tied to the move itself, such as Zeus' Static Shock and Ares' Cut Above.

Auto-Fire Statistics

Move	Combo	Combo (if is depleted)	Notes
Attack	Attack > Ω Attack (repeat Ω Attack)	Attack > Attack > Attack (repeat)	Dashing does not interrupt the combo. When is depleted, the Attack > Attack > Attack (repeat) combo will include a slight pause after the third Attack before the sequence repeats. The combo with Aspect of Eos has a modified iteration: Use Attack > Ω Attack (repeat Ω Attack) until you summon Daybreaker. Once Daybreaker is active, switch to the Attack > Attack (repeat) combo. This Attack > Attack (repeat) combo will not be interrupted even when Daybreaker expires. To summon a new Daybreaker, cancel the combo and hold the Attack button again to restart the sequence.
Special	Ω Special > Ω Special (repeat)	Special > Special (repeat)	Currently Bugged: If is below the minimum required for Ω Special and the combo switches to its alternate version, it may interfere with Born Gain and Mortal Gain. Since this combo does not include or attempt to use Ω Moves, these boons may not activate as intended, preventing proper regeneration. This issue can be avoided by using any other Ω Moves, such as Ω Cast, to correctly triggers these boons.

Blast damage does not synergize with The Huntress, Hestia's Cardio Gain, or Apollo's Extra Dose, though the lingering Attack before the Blast still trigger them.

Daybreaker: A slow seeking shot that blasts nearby foes and copies your Specials. Limit 1 at a time.

Activating Daybreaker caps the total number of Specials (including copies) to 5 sparks at a time. Any new Specials will replace the existing ones.
- Since the maximum number of Special is capped at 3, frequent use may cause sparks to be replaced too quickly.
With Apollo's Exceptional Talent, Ω Attack fires 2 Daybreakers simultaneously. However, only one of them can copy Specials.
- It also raises the maximum number of Ω Special while Daybreaker is active: up to 6 sparks in the normal version and 9 sparks with Exceptional Talent.

Upgrades

Name	Description	Notes
Triple Helix	Your Ω Special creates +1 flame.
Clean Helix	You Channel your Ω Special +20% faster, and it uses -10.
Sustained Spark	While you Channel your Attacks, you move and fire +20% faster.
Melting Coil	Your Specials destroy 20% of any Armor (based on the total).
Triple Comet	Your Special fires +2 projectiles.
Mega Spark	Your Attacks fire 20% farther and deal +30% damage.
Dividing Spark	Your Attacks split in 2 the first time they strike foes.	Incompatible with Aspect of Moros Incompatible with Aspect of Eos Currently Bugged: The split sparks from Dividing Spark can restore via Hestia's Cardio Gain, even when fired from Ω Attack.
Inverted Spark	Your Attacks linger for +2 Sec. and launch back towards you after you Dash.
Clean Candle	You Channel your Ω Attack 50% faster, and it uses -1.
Rising Coil	Your Specials grow in size and deal up to +25% damage the longer they are active.
Whirling Coil	Your Ω Special projectiles orbit +40% faster.	The Whirling Coil upgrade increases the orbiting speed of Ω Special projectiles by 40%, but also reduces their duration by the same percentage. This creates a trade-off when used with the Aspect of Moros: allowing for consistent Blast explosion timing at the cost of more frequent Ω Special usage.
Leaden Spark	Your Attacks knock foes away and have +10 Power.

Trivia

Ygnium could derive from the Latin word ignis, which means “fire”. The Latin suffix -ium (from Greek -ion) was historically used to form abstract nouns, but is now more commonly applied in chemistry to create the names of metal elements. Therefore, Ygnium could could be a fantastical, fire-based element.
The Aspect of Moros is the first second aspect of a weapon to belong to a future wielder among both games.
All the wielders of the flames also use this tool in popular mythology - both Moros and Eos are frequently depicted with twin torches, as well as some other divinities in Greek and other mythologies.
