In addition, by casting the Flames spell repeatedly in short bursts, you can apply the "on-fire" effect several times, which will dramatically increase your damage output. The Intense Flames perk is of limited use, firstly because humanoid enemies will drop down to their knees when their health is below 10%, and secondly because enemies that do not drop down will run away, forcing you to kill them some other way.
