Gameplay

Instant — Lesson

Kicker {4} (You may pay an additional {4} as you cast this spell.) Firebending Lesson deals 2 damage to target creature. If this spell was kicked, it deals 5 damage to that creature instead.

"Firebending is not something to fear, but if you don't respect it, it'll chew you up and spit you out." —Zuko

If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked.

To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
