Strong-Smelling Ashes (Hyatt) - Boosts LV of Cinder you create by LV*2. For Hyattr, increases the damage dealt by Fire Breath by LV*4% of your Fire ATK. (Bought at Dormeho's Pawn Shop, at the Shady Guy.)

Are you sure your Prayer LV is atleast 5 for this test? Not that I have tested it myself or anything, but. Just for an extra information, if you don't mind. It's kind of obvious something is wrong, too.
