The thing is, dealing physical damage can't do both things: They either apply Black Flames or consume the debuff when the target is already affected by it because of an earlier attack/skill.

To enter the state of Dominate, you must hit at least one enemy with Black Flames and these targets won't have Black Flames anymore, because it got consumed to trigger Spiteful Axe.

Then again, some targets will get Black Flames from Spiteful Axe and it only needs one target with Black Flames to enable Dominate, kind of unfair... I'll work on it.
