This is not really very good for what it does, in both damage and poison chance, and I believe it can be made better by a large margin with a simple change.
Quote:Flame Art (Poison)
Flame Art trait (only 1 can be selected). This Salamandra's flames have gained the oddity of the wyvern. Fire damage that deals at least 50 damage have a chance to inflict Poison LV X (X = Character LV/4) for 2 rounds.
If the target is already Poisoned or Burning, the effect will instead corrode them, dealing bonus Acid magic damage equal to the Poison LV (or Burn LV, whichever is higher) + Acid ATK, which ignores armor.
This effect has a 1 round cooldown.

For 3 rounds of cooldown that doesn't prevent them from reapplying any buffs, this is also pretty unusable. So, to justify the cooldown, this could work better:
Quote:Flame Art (Purification)
Flame Art trait (only 1 can be selected). The flames of the Salamandra purify magic it touches. Salamandra Flame will also replace 1 random stealable beneficial status effect from the target with Burn LV X (X = Character LV/2 + Scaled SAN + 50% Fire ATK) for 2 rounds, and disable absorb, reflect and immunity to Fire damage as a sub-status of Burn.
The effect puts Salamandra Flame a 3 round cooldown, but if the target has no eligible beneficial status, this effect will not activate and no cooldown will be applied.

I see this brought up time and time again. Yeah welcome to problem of why traits needs another rebalance. There is only really one option which is to choose Flame Art: EXPLOOOSION, most due to the fact it actually does something noticeable which can have an impact. Maybe this is the problem not enough racial traits has an impactful feeling to them. Take Hyattr Fire breath traits which don't really make Fire Breath useful just less terrible when you get the weird feeling to actually use it.
