I'm pulling out the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time to drive to work. So last time I talked about different terminology used by R&D. So I'm going to continue talking about all the different slang that R&D uses. So when we last left off, we were on E. So now we're up to F. Fire breathing. Okay, so fire breathing

0:22.7

is basically when you sped some amount of manna to give a creature plus one plus oh until
