[QUOTE="Satyrn, post: 7239140, member: 6801204"] But anyway, you really might find it best to just tell the players what's being cast. It's simple for you, and the information can be empowering for your players. Not just in the game sense that they can know if it's worth counterspelling and what level of slot to use, and thus rewarding the wizard's player for his effort in learning the game stuff. And rewarding such cou,d encourage the players to learn more about the game, too. but also in a roleplay sense. For the players who know what a fireball does, when they hear the DM say "the evil wizard casts fireball at you " they will be able to picture the scene far better than any description you provide. And you can use the time and effort you've saved by not describing the fireball to instead describe the evil wizard's evil cackling as the players get scorched - and his gulp of fear as the flames die away leaving the party rogue unscathed.
