[QUOTE="Gooba42, post: 3370356, member: 43884"] Thanks so much for the reply. You've got the Fireball down for Short range, the SRD has it at long, right? That's 3 MP for the range and the core rules version never does less than 5d6 (Since you can't get it any lower than 5th level.) For the revised build to match the basic Fireball: Elements of Magic Build: Evoke Fire: 0 Ambient Side Effect, 4 Damage Gen: 3 Range, 2 Area Total: 9 MP ~ Spell Level 4, Caster Level 9 It's actually *gained* one MP/CL over my previous build because I didn't omit the damage dice this time. I think this build is more accurate to RAW specifications but serves only to highlight how out of line this spell is with anything of comparable level. Little wonder that this is a must-have spell for its level. Now I'm on another bump on the road to EoM... There's a reference in the appendix to Permanent Duration costing 30 MP but the limit for non-epic casters is 20 MP. Does the Craft Permanent Spell feat lift the requirement for MP spent on duration?
