Summary

  • Fire Magic in Fairy Tail is both destructive and powerful, with Natsu Dragneel leading the charge in using intense and impactful Fire Spells.
  • From Jellal's empowering Flame of Rebuke to Erza's Fire Emperor's Soaring Fire Blade, the strongest Fire Spells make a significant impact on the plot.
  • Natsu's Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist and Fire Dragon King's Purgatory are among the most powerful Fire Spells, setting the stage for epic battles.

Fire Magic is as destructive as it is useful, and in the world of Fairy Tail, there are few Wizards that can tame its raw and wild power. One of the main users of this magic is none other than the MC: Natsu Dragneel. But Natsu is not the only Fire Mage in Earth Land (or even in the entire alternate worlds) and there are lots of powerful Fire Type Spells out there.

Fairy Tail is home to a collection of powerful beings; here are the strongest characters who use White Magic.

This topic contains the strongest Fire Spells in the series, considering their destructive power, utility, and the effect they had on the advancement of the plot. From Jellal's unique helping hand Fire Spell to Ignia the Fire Dragon God's most destructive technique. All of these are sure to ruin the landscape if not used with caution.

7 Flame Of Rebuke

An Empowering Fire Spell That Comes With A Surprise

The Flame Of Rebuke Fairy Tail
  • Type: Support (Allegedly)
  • User: Jellal Fernandez
  • First time used: Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 159

An empowering fire spell, it was created by Jellal and passed down to Natsu for him to consume, forcing the Dragon Force mode activation. The power of this flame spell is certainly unknown since it is not used to destroy a target, but instead, for the Dragon Slayer's innate capability to absorb the flames and boost his power.

Fairy Tail: Longest Arcs In The Manga, Ranked

Fairy Tail features an array of great story arcs; here's a rundown of the longest ones present in the manga.

Jellal concentrates all his magic power in a single spell, which is a vast amount all things considered, and then expels it in a burst of golden flames that are said to carry the burden of the mage's sins as well as his full power. Natsu stated that when he ate these flames, he felt like he was consuming Etherion, the crystalized magic mineral used to create the third-generation Dragon Slayers.

6 Sitri Inferno

Mirajane's Strongest Fire Spell

Mirajane using Sitri Inferno in Satan Soul Mode
  • Type: Support Speed Booster/Attack spell
  • User: Mirajane Strauss
  • First time used: Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 279

Mirajane is able to cast a powerful fire spell called Sitri Inferno when using her Satan Soul mode, and it is a particularly strong one, which uses a great deal of magic power to propel the user like a jet pack, boosting her speed to the utmost limit, while also leaving a trail of fiery flames that burn their target to a crisp.

She uses this technique against Jenny Realight of Blue Pegasus during the Great Magic Games tournament phase after a particularly nasty dispute between the two of them. Mirajane proved that she is quite a capable Fire Mage, but this particular spell mostly provides acceleration instead of damage. Still, the combo is lethal enough to beat one of the most capable mages from Fiore, so that's definitely something.

5 Fire Emperor's Soaring Fire Blade

Erza's New Signature Fire Blade Move

Fire Emperor's Soaring Blade Erza Scarlet
  • Type: Melee Assault Spell
  • User: Erza Scarlet
  • First time used: Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Manga Chapter 16

One of Erza's secret techniques is said to be created while being inspired by Natsu's powerful fire spells (and as a means to counter his magic). Using her Re-Equipment magic, Erza summons her Flame Empress Armor, which provides fire magic resistance and boosts fire magic, while also empowering her blade with a red-crimson fire.

Dark Wizards Zero, Keyes, Faris, Zeref Fairy Tail
Strongest Black Magic Users In Fairy Tail, Ranked

Black magic in Fairy Tail is a powerful force, and these are the strongest users in the manga and anime.

Fairy Tail's Titania dances in a spiral pattern while wielding her broadsword, creating a whirlwind of flames that engulfs her rivals. Natsu ate these flames once and declared they tasted like rust, probably because it is the armor and the blade that emits the powerful fire spell, and not Erza herself. In 100 Years Quest, she used this new spell to defeat Kiria the Blade Dragon Slayer from Diabolos.

4 Dragon God's Brilliant Flame

A One-Time Use-Only Spell That Could Have Been Great In The Long Run

Dragon's God Brilliant Flame
  • Type: Wide area Nuke
  • User: Natsu Dragneel
  • First time used: Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 219-220

During the travel to Fairy Island Arc (also known as The S Rank Exam Arc) Fairy Tail was attacked by the Dark Guild Grimoire Heart, and among them was Zancrow, the Fire God Slayer Magic user who faces Natsu in a 1v1 near the climax of this story. It was quite a one-sided fight, and Zancrow was moping the floor with the Fire Dragon Slayer until Makarov promptly intervened just in time, boosting Natsu's morale and reminding him of his duty to protect the Guild.

Then Natsu pulled a "power of friendship" moment and absorbed the Fire God Slayer flames, which he had been unable to do up to that moment, and after that he used an empowered version of the Dragon King's Brilliant Flame called Dragon God's Brilliant Flame, bursting Zancrow to oblivion with both Dragon Slayer and God Slayer Fire Magic.

3 Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist

Natsu's Strongest Melee Spell

Natsu's Fire Dragon Kning Fist Blasts Zereff Demon away
  • Type: Single Target Nuke
  • User: Natsu Dragneel
  • First time used: Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 434

After years of perfecting his Dragon Slayer Magic, and thanks to his fortuitous inheritance, Natsu is now able to use Fire Dragon King Dragon Slayer Magic, said to be the pinnacle of that kind of Fire Magic. The Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist is not only an empowered version of the Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, but it also concentrates most of the other magic spells that Natsu uses in a single melee move that blasts away every opponent.

The first time Natsu uses this spell, he pours all of his feelings for his missing dragon father and blasts away one of Zereff's demons in an instant. Natsu himself is baffled by the sheer power of this spell, so after that, he uses it with discretion. Surprisingly, upon his encounter with Ignia, Natsu noticed that the Fire Dragon God had the same technique, and it was even more powerful than his. So when he parried his attack, Natsu was baffled. It was later revealed to him that he was his adoptive brother, and Igneel's son, who was eager to have a face-off against Fairy Tail's Fire Dragon Slayer.

2 Fire Dragon King's Purgatory

The Most Powerful Fire Spell A Human Can Cast

Natsu Using Fire Dragon King's Purgatory on Diabolos Goons
  • Type: AoE Burst
  • User: Natsu Dragneel
  • First time used: Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Manga Chapter 15

Arguably Natsu's stronger spell, in which he summons all the power of the Fire Dragon King's Dragon Slayer Magic to create a sea of flames that engulfs his opponents and blasts the ground all around them. It is basically a nuke-type spell that barely recognizes friend from foe, and its destructive power is second only to one of the Fire Dragon God's strongest spells.

It is probable that when Natsu and Ignia have their promised face-to-face, Natsu comes crashing down with an empowered version of his strongest spell, and flips the board once more, becoming the strongest Fire Magic user of all time. But that remains to be seen, and probably soon.

1 Flame Rain

The Strongest Spell In The Fire Dragon God's Arsenal

Ignia in Fairy Tail
  • Type: AoE Instant
  • User: Ignia
  • First time used: Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Episode 6

Similar to Natsu's Fire Dragon King's Purgatory fire spell, but much stronger. Ignia summons countless fireballs that rain down from the sky and create exploding pillars of flame there where they land. The power of this spell is so catastrophic that it is said that Ignia could be able to single-handedly defeat all the other Dragon Gods by himself using only this spell.

Be that as it may, Ignia's power is indisputable for the moment, and since the new Dragon King Festival has started, it won't be too long until Natsu and him clash and fans will witness who has the most powerful Fire Dragon Slayer magic and consequently, the strongest Fire Magic Spells.
