It is called DF "Inspiration".
Also
"When you use your bardic music to inspire courage, you can choose to imbue your allies with dragonfire."
It is not even a diferent ability, it is like the 3 ways to cast Telekinesis etc. Effectively you still Inspire Courage and choose a different effect.
Having said that, you are right, it doesn't make sence. However it is unclear enough to still be under DM interpretation. I'd more easily claim that a +4 int is mind affecting than dragonfire inspiration but I'm not the OPs DM.
