Flame Aura is in Awakenings and increases the Power of the attack by 2.
However adding Elemental effect to distance strike & killing hands
wouldn't give this increase, instead having primary and secondary effects
as noted in Grimmy and Awakenings ... though the merit of certain
elemental effects in this context is questionable ("Hey, this knuckle
sandwich is soggy!")
