It's funny because in Dragon's Dogma immolation is the complete opposite: It DOES scale from your weapon, in fact it scales on the physical stat (strength) of all things, it deals negligible damage to the player and it deals absolutely insane wacky nutso damage to everything else in a five-meter radius. Smaller enemies try to approach you and just die before they can touch you. And of course it casts almost instantly.
