    Oh btw, Japanese-Japanese dictionaries are great for figuring out context/alternative meanings.

    For example http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E7%81%AB%E5%8A%9B

    It says there that:

    力 is often used as suffix to indicate the power of the thing it is used after, or even an ability/personal trait if you describe a person with it. In that vein you have 想像 (imagination) and 想像力 (power of one's imagination/how well someone can visualize things), 説得 (persuade) and 説得力 (coercive/persuasive power) or even 決断 (decision/determination) and 決断力 (decisiveness) etc.

    You'll have fun with kanji compounds in no time!

If you mean で as a particle denoting location, it has to come after the location. So "in the brush/grass" would have to be 草で, in this case the で is in connection with 火力.

    I get the feeling 草 here is some sort of fighting game slang adjective based on its position in the sentence. Either than or the sentence is unfinished. Or I'm having a brain fart.
    The game in question is league of legends. Oriana is a champion, and her ultimate ability is what I believe the subject of the sentence is (hence the が unless I messed up that particle's meaning). I believe during this time a team fight broke out around the brush(which is what I assumed 草 meant) in the game. It could mean from the brush, since you don't have vision of anyone in the brush without being in the brush yourself and the other team might not of had vision in a brush she ult'd from.

    The で's position changes the sentence a lot from the sounds of things.

    I didn't even think about using something similar to these yet. But once you mentioned them in your blog(I've started reading it slowly but surely) I realized they could be a very great resource for learning. I'll bookmark one or two and hopefully I'll be able to read what they say sooner or later.

    If I knew Japanese I could sort it out for you since I'm well versed in LoL.

    Orianna is indeed a champion. Her ultimate is called Command: Shockwave. And yes, brush is a common term in LoL, so you most likely have that translation correct. And you are correct about your game inferences, can't see into the brush unless you are in the brush, or you have the brush warded, or a champion attacks from a brush, they get revealed after attacking.

    What's your name?

    And I'm not even ranked. Due to laptop freezes I don't want to get people pissed at me. I already have had one leaver penalty as well so, I'm really careful now.
