The player may choose a slot to summon this creature to when it is played (can be left out if this is too hard to code).

Splitting produces 2 new copies. The copies have N/2-1 strength and M/2-1 largeness where N and M are the original creatures strength and largeness.
The split chance is 50%
Self-inflicted damage (from its ability) can trigger splitting.

Why the fire generation? Quicklime is thought to have been a component of Greek Fire where it acted as an ignition heat source. See thematic reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_oxide
