Fume, Serpent Fume, and Dragon Fume are a series of Mars attack Psynergy featured in The Lost Age. Like Heat Wave and Liquifier, it is practical in doing superior damage to single targets but it is not considered an Elemental Physical attack. It is available only to the Flame User and Pirate class series, available to the adepts Jenna and Eoleo.

Psynergy spells

FumeDD.gif Fume.gif Fume: “Attack with a plume of flames.”: This costs 6 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 50, and has a range of one target. A moderately large serpentine entity of flame is shot out of the user and arcs over to crash into the target in an explosion. It is available at level 5.

SerpentFumeDD.gif Serpent Fume.gif Serpent Fume: “Attack with a plume of flames.”: This costs 14 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 130, and has a range of one target. A large serpentine entity of flame is shot out of the user and arcs over to crash into the target in an explosion. It is available at level 26.

DragonFumeDD.gif Dragon Fume.gif Dragon Fume: “Attack with a plume of flames.”: This costs 35 Psynergy Points, has a base power of 230, and has a range of one target. A gigantic serpentine entity of flame is shot out of the user and arcs over to crash into the target in a massive explosion. It is available at level 47. In The Lost Age, this move has the highest base damage of any usable Psynergy in the game.

Analysis

Fume is available to the level 5 Jenna at the prologue of The Lost Age, where it is an ideal weapon to defeat the Ruffians one-by-one. All three Psynergies are very powerful and practical as they are acquired. Serpent Fume, in particular, is excellent as an offensive measure in the boss fight against Poseidon, so it is extremely prudent to level up the party to level 26 before attempting Poseidon.

Dragon Fume isn't particularly useful as physical attacks are much stronger than power-based spells from about level 40 on. This distinction is particularly notable in Dark Dawn, as Eoleo has access to the single target attacks, Keelhaul and Vicious Chop, which run off his Attack.

In other media

The Fume Psynergy's dragon visual effect makes an appearance as a "power shot" in Camelot's Mario Tennis: Power Tour.
