“Once per life you can play fire, which beats everything.”
What? How does fire beat rock? And scissors?
“Lava. And shut up.”

Hail, rain, sparks, wind, tree, lightning, missive, midnight:
Earth, water, fire, air, wood, storm, rhyme, time.
Some days all the elementals get to play.

“Then there’s water, which beats only fire, but you can play it as many times as you want.”
What? That makes no sense. Shouldn’t water rust scissors? And destroy paper? And erode rock? It’s backwards...
“I’m going to kick you if you don’t shut up.”
Can I use my once per life fire against your kick?
