Re: damages from various spells--balancing!



 Some balancing is probably needed.  But I gather that those totals
are theoretical maximums.  For most area of efect spells, you are unlikely
to get the
 (that) maximum.  How many dungeons actually have rooms that
a large fireball would not fill up, and then have those rooms
filled with monsters, and be able to actually have the fireball explode
in the middle of the room.

  Some balncing is probably needed.  However, careful consideration
is required.  The fireball spells have the disadvantage of hittting
the spell caster (where the cone and bolt spells do not). Also,
adjustment of any of the first level spells needs to be
considered carefully - the cost certainly can not be raised much,
or first level characters won't be able to cast them.

 I do think the 'bullet' spells are pretty wimpy.  The only
use I have found for them is to destroy acid spheres.
