Whirl, O Flame! is an Incantation in Elden Ring. Whirl, O Flame! spell creates a blast of fire in front of the caster. Updated to Patch 1.07.
Superior Incantation of the Fire Monks.

Fire beguiles those who gaze into it. And so the guardians of the flame are also its worshippers.

Elden Ring Whirl, O Flame! Guide
- Fire Monk Incantation
- Stamina Cost: 26
- Deals fire damage
- Creates a column of projectiles that pass through enemies dealing damage multiple times and hitting additional, lined up enemies.
- The projectiles won't pass through walls.
- Has high damage potential against large or non-moving enemies, but comes at a high FP cost, and slow cast time. It is available very early on though, and can be a fun alternate ranged option for Faith users
- Note: Buffed in Patch 1.07 - FP cost reduced from 21 to 19, while it does more stamina damage against guarding enemies and is more likely to stagger enemies in general.

AnonymousBeen using this on a Fire Monk themed build and I'm pretty impressed. The range of this incantation is deceptive and will catch many player in PVP if they are in the habit of rolling backwards. Any long hallways or bridges are where it shines brightest, and anyone with low poise will get staggered and eat alot of damage. The hitbox lingers for quite a bit, and is a good answer to many of the flying enemies in PVE. Overall, this is worth the slot and I'd wager enough people don't see it to know exactly how to avoid it. If you are on the receiving end of it, rolling to the side and rushing the opponent is most effective if you can close the gap fast. You do not want to be at medium range on the receiving end of it, as the spread gets bigger the further it travels. Watch out for it tight spaces, it's deadly there.

An acceptable pve spell. Good in most situations vs mobs, but still rather pricey for what it does. The damage will take you places, not far but it can work even in the late game (though I wouldn't use it against something like elden beast or radagon) flame surge & flame whip spells haven't been good since dark souls 1 but it works.
In pvp well, not so much. Unless your fighting a sword of nerfed & lame spamer. or maybe a clown who stands still & mindlessly casts slow terrible ashes/spells. Or the miraculous catacombs hallway experience it's not going to land. If they make the mistake of trying to roll into it, or block it they might just die from the stunlock. But don't count on that happening often or reliably.

Surge O Flame's bigger, dumber brother.
Good at damaging bug slow moving enemies or crowds at choke points. At low RL it is a valuable invasion tool for fighting caster tarnished who like to hide behind summons, due to its quick cast and respectable range + damage.

This looks like a pretty crappy spell at first, but it's actually pretty good because of its range and the fact that the projectiles don't fall like Flame Sling. I've been doing a pyromancer build with the fire scorpion, dragoncrest shield, and Godfrey's talismans to boost damage and it hits like a truck even though I've only got 25 faith and a +7 finger seal.

Still requires more stagger or tracking, as is charging it against mages isn't the best idea..

This thing actually has incredible tracking at a long range. Can be used as a basic pew pew in the colosseum.

Has insane range and can outdistance a lot of sorceries when charged.

While it may just seem like a less efficient Flame Sling, this has a handy niche of being useful in corridors and tight spaces where you won't be able to properly lob a fireball, or if you can corral a bunch of enemies into approaching you single file.

I've been playing a pyro build and while I'm only at midgame (and this is all PvE), this spell grew on me. I disliked at first, but it's much better than something like flame sling/black flame at hitting mobile enemies and it seems the new 1.07 stagger can be handy too (will require more testing). Most importantly, this spell is a bit deceptive as it seems very short - but when you fully charge it, the range on it is actually really damn long, lingers and is very difficult for enemies to dodge. Use from distance.
Sure, it's not gonna be my pick for DPS, or a lot of other situations, and it might be one of my least used equipped spells. But every time I do use it I'm really glad I have it.

Only if it have some tracking and lesser base cast time, it will be perfect.

It's actually quite useful against shielded enemies as it damages past there guard, I used it on early game crucible Knights when I realised this spell is actually only partially blockable.

You don't know how to use this spell. Using it from longer range rather than point-blank deals much more damage because to flames that end up further away from you linger and keep damaging. If you use this point-blank range it deals no damage yes.
A decent alternative to Flame Sling to use against big bodies. Not bad but not great either.

You can charge this spell. But i don't know what charging does.

Great range, mediocre damage, with terrible tracking. I wouldn't use this is anything other than PvE.

use this to make yourself look like a clown lmao. trash spell idk why they add a lot of fire spells that barely deals more damage than a +1 dagger's basic hit.

Not bad for pve at all. Get more dmg out of one cast of this than flame sling on bigger enemies because it lingers/hits, with more range because it dosent lob. If youre a pure pyro like me it stays in pve rotation. Not a pvp oriented spell however.

Incredible to me that after having this spell suck in DS2 and DS3 they decide in elden ring to make it suck again.

It’s ****. No range, super telegraphed, locked in place. It’s the “Please back stab me for free spell”

Not a very good spell. There's just too many other better spells foe AOE like flames of frenzy, lightning storm or even any of the dragon breaths
Not a terrible spell, very similar to the Fire Whip pyromancy, but I don't remember Fire Whip having anywhere near this range. It still kinda locks you in place but the column of fire can at least hit things a few times over. I've seen it proc at least four hits on a giant as the flames travel through it and it can hit things behind the initial target. The projectiles are so slow moving that they linger in front of the caster for a time, which I could see being potentially useful. This one doesn't really stay in my load out, however, it can be pretty useful in caverns and corridors though.
Found on a dung beetle in north wester caelid i think. didn't pay too much attention
this with giant seal is godlike if your opp only rolls backwards for some reason in pvp since it hits 3-4 times, staggers lightly so all the hits can hit more consistently and has one of the longest non free aim spell ranges in the game, i'll never overlook you again fire whip
