Firebrathe is a Fools only command that will allow you to blow a fireball into the air or at a chosen target.

A flammable liquid is required, as is a source of fire (a lit torch).

It is possible with low skills to accidentially drink the liquid and/or set fire to your face.

The size of the fireball is determined by the type of fuel used (see Research).

You can determine how powerful a fuel is by using firebreathe assay
