Final Fantasy V
If a character with the summon ability summons Ifrit after defeating him in the Library of the Ancients, he will unleash Hellfire, a Fire-elemental attack damaging all enemies. During the battle with Ifrit, he will use Blaze which has a similar effect, inflicting major Fire-elemental damage to all enemies.

Hellfire is used as an enemy ability by the Ifrit palette-swaps, Mako Ifrit and Experiment No. 113.

The Hellfire materia increases the chance of Ifrit appearing in the DMW.

Final Fantasy VIII
Ifrit casts Hell Fire in Final Fantasy VIII. An extremely damaging Fire-elemental attack that can be made stronger through Boost. Ifrit's summon time is 13s, which, according to the Final Fantasy VIII Ultimania, allows the player to boost its damage to around 180% of normal damage using a regular PlayStation controller.

Its damage is calculated as follows:
 * $$Damage = 61 * Level / 10 + 45 + 2$$
 * $$Damage = Damage * (265 - TargetSpr) / 8 $$
 * $$Damage = Damage * 45 / 256 $$
 * $$Damage = Damage * Boost / 100 $$
 * $$Damage = Damage * (100 + SummonMagBonus) / 100 $$
 * $$Damage = Damage * (900 - ElemDef) / 100:$$

Elemental Defense starts at 800 (0%), 900 nullifies damage and 1000 absorbs it. If an enemy is shown to be weak against an element, its Elemental Defense is below 800. If damage becomes negative (due to high Elemental Defense), the target is healed by that amount.

Flames of Hell is the name of Ifrit's summon move in this game, which deals Fire elemental damage to all enemies. The formula for Flames of Hell's power is Power = 42 + Number of Topazes.
