## Description
Hey everyone! Get ready to spice up your Mage Wars with this awesome promo card: the Fire Elemental! This beauty was handed out during organized play events, so keep an eye out. It costs 20 Mana and has 15 Health, but forget about armor – this guy is pure flame! Its Quick Attack, 'Claws of Fire,' unleashes 5 dice in melee combat. And if you need a heavier effect, 'Defrost' uses 2 dice and is unavoidable. The downside? A +1 Upkeep, but that's a small price for such power. Plus, it's 'Incorporeal' and 'Nonliving,' so 'Hydro' attacks become 'Ethereal' against it, proving fire truly dominates water here. This card is a significant reinforcement for those who enjoy pressuring opponents and controlling the battlefield with powerful creatures. If you like the idea of having a fire elemental on your side, this card is a must-have to expand your tactics and surprise your adversaries with destructive, fiery power. Prepare to see the battlefield ignite!

## FAQ
### Is this card a complete expansion or just an extra card?
It's a promotional card, meaning an extra card for the base game of Mage Wars. You need the main game to use it.

### What is the Fire Elemental's main advantage?
It has a very strong quick attack with 5 dice and a special ability that makes it more resistant to water attacks.

### Is this card difficult to obtain?
Yes, as a promotional card distributed at organized play events, it might be a bit harder to find than regular cards.

### Is it good for beginners in Mage Wars?
It can be a bit challenging due to its mana cost and specific interactions, but it's a great card for those who already understand the basic mechanics and want to add more firepower.

### How many players can use this card?
Mage Wars is a 2-player game, so this card is used in matches between two people.

### What do 'Incorporeal' and 'Nonliving' mean?
These traits indicate that the Fire Elemental is not a common living being and that certain types of attacks (like 'Hydro' attacks) have a different or reduced effect against it.

It costs 20 Mana to cast, which is a significant amount, requiring good resource planning.
