Fireball Is Addressed to Whom It May Concern

An arrow might have your name on it, but a Fireball is addressed “To whom it may concern”

A bearded fantasy wizard conjures a huge fireball while aiming it toward an unseen target. The joke contrasts the familiar phrase that an arrow has someone’s name on it with the impersonal but threatening wording “to whom it may concern,” implying the fireball is meant for anyone nearby. It is used as an absurdly aggressive reaction or threat. EN: A bearded fantasy wizard conjures a huge fireball while aiming it toward an unseen target.
