## Oracle Text
Firebending 2 (Whenever this creature attacks, add {R}{R}. This mana lasts until end of combat.)

During your turn, you may cast cards exiled with Azula and you may cast them as though they had flash. Mana of any type can be spent to cast those spells.

- *(2025-10-02)* You pay the costs for an exiled card if you cast it. You may pay any alternative costs the card has rather than the card's mana cost.
