Understand "fireflower" as the fire flower. Understand "throw fireballs/fireball/fire at [thing]", "fireball at/-- [thing]", "fire at/-- [thing]", or "use fire/-- flower/fireflower-- on [thing]" as burning. Instead of throwing the fire flower at something, try burning the second noun. Shooting is an action applying to one visible thing. Understand "shoot at/-- [thing]" as shooting.
