Yes I realize that I was just making a point that spells that can target multiple targets would and should be weaker (for the most part)as it pertains to caster supremacy.
I've always imagined a fireball kind of like a dragonball fireball that erupts in a 25 ft radius circle upon impact. Of course thats just one impression of a fictional thing.
Damage is easy to balance. Non-combat isnt. That magic can do things that non-casters cant hope to accomplish is a fair argument for magic generally being crappy at what it can do, due to versatility (vancian rotating super-powers), and scope (things mortals cant hope to achieve). When magic users give up one, they can gain baseline competence. So a limited vancian caster can be as effective as a non-caster a few times per day, or crappily do something no one else can do a few times per day. This is balanced by the fact that he can re-shape his character each day (through memorization) and do stuff no one else can. What's the heald check required to bring someone back from the dead again?

Lightning bolts directish hits are survived 80 percent of the time (not sure where I got that stat )
Really?
1.21 Gigiwatts?
You actually heard that somwhere? I would have thought it would be way lower.
Anyways in regards to spells I like the idea of conservation of energy.
Its true. Ive been pelted by a dork in a bathrobe with a beanbag many times and lived.

And dorks with bean bags are more reliable than the american heart association.
