Incinerate doesn't apply to applied damage over time (as in, the enemy has a little buff on them that says they are taking damage over time) - such as Toxic Shot, Torment, Maelific Visions, etc.

Persistent area damage doesn't count as a damage over time. Champions like Nasus, Morgana, Shyvana, Amumu, Mundo, etc, can use Incinerate. Before anyone things it, Singed and Cassiopeia cannot because their persistent area damage applies damage over time (both apply a damage over time for 2 seconds rather than directly dealing damage).

I'm not sure how tethers work. They aren't considered a damage over time by QSS, so they might not be by Incinerate either.
