Combat Messages

• Regular messages:

  <name> actually sets your opponent on fire for X damage, unlike regular fire ants, which just make people feel like that is happening. Regular fire ants are liars.

  <name> breathes fire at your foe for X damage. If actual fire ants did that, it would be a real problem.

  <name> cuts a leaf. And then sets it on fire. And then uses it to set your opponent on fire for X damage.

  <name> gives your opponent a traditional cartoon-style hot-foot for X damage.

  <name> hoses your opponent down with fire for X damage. Like with a firehose. Except, ironically, the opposite of that.

  <name> injects your foe with a special poison for X damage that makes them feel like they're on fire. That poison is called 'fire'.
