If it applies to spells in general then it creates endless questions of when to apply it to what damage (because while many damage dealing spells are straightforward, plenty involve multiple damages at multiple times etc.) If it did not apply to cantrip damage then the quadratic-ness of sorcerer or wizard progression becomes more pronounced (though I suppose they could just work a crossbow like the mages of old).</blockquote>
