Description
Flair is Amarant's skillset in Final Fantasy IX that contains various skills ranging from healing to crushing monsters to protecting and reviving his fellow party members. Flairs aren't considered magic; Amarant can use them in Oeilvert. When Amarant is in Trance, Flair turns into Elan (絶技, Zetsugi?, lit. Special Arts) with the same skillset but all skills target the whole party, either enemies or allies.

Description
During Trance, Flair becomes Elan. His Flair abilities are the same, but they now multi-target all allies and enemies rather than just being single-target.
Other appearances[]
Amarant uses his Flairs in his spin-off appearances in Pictlogica Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy Record Keeper, and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
Etymology[]
Flair refers to "a special or instinctive aptitude" or "an ability for doing something well".
Élan is a French term that also refers to style and can be considered an "upgrade" of flair.
