	Death Blossom is the on death ability, yes? I am not so sure it does 7-9 damage. I've only had it do 3 or 5 damage so far. [[User:Parogen\|Parogen]] ([[User talk:Parogen\|talk]]) 02:18, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

	:I'm going to go a step beyond that and straight-up undo it. "Disc" has been used to mean simply "round, flat object" for a couple of thousand years (it's a straight borrowing from Latin ''discus''), far pre-dating electronic computers (though technically not computers themselves or "optical data storage"; abaci and writing are both older). The modern conventions regarding whether to use a C (from the Latin) or K (from the original Greek; the Greek alphabet doesn't have a C) when discussing computer components don't negate the word's ancient meaning.
