Immolate

Immolate was a Dark Gift used by Kain in Blood Omen 2. Kain gained the Dark Gift in Chapter 8:The Eternal Prison after Kain absorbed the veins of the 'traitor' vampire Magnus.

Immolate is a technique of Pyrokinesis, it allowed its user to trap enemies in a ring of red energy spikes, lifting the target and setting them aflame, generally killing most enemies. As the most advanced of Kain's Combat Dark Gifts, it required Kain's Rage Bar to be completely filled by consistently blocking enemy attacks. When the gift was ready Kain would glow red and the gift could be instantly activated (even if the opponent was in the midst of an attack)

Kain gained this Dark Gift in Chapter 8: Bad Blood when he met the deranged vampire Magnus in the Eternal Prison. Magnus followed Kain through the Eternal Prison before confronting him in a boss battle. During the battle, Magnus attempted to use Immolate upon Kain (an instant death), but Kain was able to avoid the attack by taking cover behind several Prison Guardian statues (which were subsequently destroyed with each attack) ; eventually Kain toppled a large statue of Moebius onto Magnus restoring his memory and Kain granted Magnus the 'release' of death, absorbing the veins of his former Champion. From Chapter 9:The Device Kain could use the gift himself and it was particularly useful against the advanced Hylden enemies.
