[QUOTE="The Fifth Elephant, post: 1475363, member: 9816"] I can see lowing the damage slightly for Gravity Warp if it's Transmutation, and here's why: Evocation is /easy/ damage. You make a fireball. You evoke cold. Is that hard? All you're doing is calling an element; the element itself is doing the damage for you. Transmutation, on the other hand, isn't easy damage. Take Gravity Warp as written. You're manipulating space-time in such a way as to create gravitic flucuations. As opposed to a fireball, where you basically point and say, "Boom!". Transmutation is harder; maybe it shouldn't have quite the same effects? Or if that makes it underbalanced, maybe give the secondary effects more Ooomph. I would lower the damage to 1d6/2 levels, but I would have the effect not go away instantly. It creates a field of instability where gravity is still "bouncing" around; every round after, everyone must save against half the original damage, until it reaches 0. That gives it more flavor, I think. While also making it slightly weaker than traditional Evocation spells in the pure Damage area. [/QUOTE]
