- 2025-10-02Firebending abilities aren't mana abilities. They use the stack and can be responded to.
- 2025-10-02Multiple instances of firebending on the same creature trigger separately, each granting you the appropriate amount of mana.
- 2025-10-02Any other mana you add during combat will still be lost as normal when moving between steps of combat.
