[QUOTE="Ahglock, post: 6881862, member: 56725"] I'd say yes. It's causing X fire damage. If someone went after a ice door with a axe how much damage would it take before the door broke? I'd say fire damage would have the same effect. I don't really buy the real world examples as this is a volume of fire that is intense enough to instantly ignite objects and thoroughly kill pretty sturdy creatures. As HP of damage is fairly abstract we really have no idea if 28ish hps of damage is in real world temperatures. While ice can absorb a lot of heat before it melts depending on a few factors like mass there are temperatures that would melt or vaporize it instantly. Is 28 hps enough for that? There is no real answer for that. When the commoner is killed by your fireball was it more from shock or was he cooked through, was he cooked medium rare, well done? Does the wooden house burst into flames when it ignites or is it a small ember? [/QUOTE]
