I had a mage in White Wolf who's favorite spell was fireball. Jnfortunately, most of the times he was able to cast it, it would only be effective at point blank. So he also cast protective spells on himself first. The end result was usually that he was almost dead, but the enemies were defeated.
I have had some superb white bread, but wheat for health reasons.
As for past questions: I’ll be eating hamburgers and cake, wearing my jeans (sized for an eternal 10 year old) in my floating castle, using my sorcerous powers to hear your positive thoughts about how I’m frying you with a couple of bouncing betty fireballs.
Considering it's not an X but the Greek letter Chi (which happens to look like an X), the term "Xmas" has bugged me since I found that out, and I didn't much like it before then anyway. I suppose I'd go with "Merry Christmas" for that reason, since despite not being remotely religious and knowing that season's not-remotely-Christian origins I do still refer to the 25th December as "Christmas"...
