While this technique doesn't increase the physical cutting power of the user's blade it does allow it to be much more effective against chakra based substances and entities. Enemies slashed by a weapon coated in these flames will be immediately set ablaze , sapping a dreadful amount of chakra from their bodies and disrupting the molding of said energy. For human targets the blaze will quickly wash over their bodies inflicting considerable damage, but countless times less than the same strike on a chakra-based entity. The intensity of the damage this technique can cause at close range is directly connected to the quality of the cut sustained by the victim.
