    Battle Magic

    People keep refering to Fireball as a battlespell. The problem
    with the fireball and even delayed blast fireball is the blast radius.
    If you consider both these spells as the original multiplied by 200, the
    volume of the fireball blast created is enough to incinerate the caster
    even if thrown to its furthest range. This is the age old problem of
    the fireball spell now taken from underground setting to the wilderness
    setting.

    It's not. It's a conventional spell that has a battlefield effect.

    Oooh. Nice argument! I need to think about this. If there has
    to be a reason to disallow a battle-spell-power version of fireball, I
    want this to be it.

    Yes. Something needs to be done about the spacewarp.

    Battle spell multipliers apply to all aspects including the range. Second
    off, that kind of blast would be a little overkill, which is why I proposed
    rain of fireballs rather than Humungous Fireball

    I certainly wouldn't let that stop me if I could get a 4000' radius
    fireball spell. Actually, when cast as a groundburst, radius would be
    5039'.

    Problem? What problem? (crafty, math-literate wicked GM laugh).
