Summary0001397: Dragonfire still works underwater
DescriptionI put some sea monsters and a dragon in an underwater arena: the dragon melted all of the sea monsters before drowning. This wouldn't be possible, without a constant oxygen supply, like in special blowtorches, flame is impossible underwater.
Steps To ReproduceGet a dragon to fight underwater

I've observed this myself, it also doesn't boil away water, unlike fireballs, which do.

May have something to do with the fact that dragonfire is suppoused to be magical.

Dragonfire isn't ordinary fire, it's supposed to be tens of thousands degrees fahrenheit or something. I'm not sure whether it's intended to work underwater, though.

If its tens of thousands of degrees fahrenheit, shouldn't it still boil away the water?

Dunno, could be unimplemented since flow interaction is expensive or whatever.

How can I remove the swimming tag? Somebody added it, but the dragons were drowning while breathing fire.

^^^ The bug is still swimming-related. Don't worry about it.

I can confirm this for 40.09 in the arena.
