The Flare Rune is a pet summoning item dropped by Providence, the Profaned Goddess if fought at night, or The Devourer of Gods if killed while the Profaned Guardians are alive. It summons an ascended Profaned Guardian to follow the player. The drop chance for the pet from The Devourer of Gods loses its Death Mode exclusivity if the Rock/Defender Profaned Guardian is still alive, otherwise if the Rock Guardian has been killed, the chance becomes locked to Death Mode.
The item's flavor text is a reference to a line spoken by a Profaned Guardian in an earlier episode which had become an inside joke within the community.
The text is also capitalized like the mod owner's name.
The item's tooltip is a reference to how the Profaned Guardian ascended into a more Providence-like form with black rocks and blue fire after absorbing the essence of Providence and The Devourer of Gods.
The buff's description is a reference to how a lead writer of the series kept insisting on using a blue color for the ascended guardian's flame due to it looking cooler, in addition to blue fire in the real world being hotter than red or orange fire.
The "flare" in the item's name is a reference to the move Blue Flare from the Pokemon franchise, due to both the Guardian and the move using similar blazing blue colors.
The pet's design is an altered version of a scrapped resprite for the Profaned Guardians, which would make them look more like Providence.
