[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3794183, member: 22779"] But, after the first time, the players are yawning again, even if they find the first time to be "wowee zappo!" Let's face it, players are more or less omniscient actors in the world. They have a pretty good idea what's in the PHB and dropping a higher level spell, or even a spell you make up on your own isn't going to make too many players go, "Golly gee, look at that!" Really, a living fireball is just a fireball that sticks around and moves. It's... a fire elemental. Whoa, yeah, I can see being totally wowed by that. Let's be realistic here, in the face of special effects the likes of the latest Harry Potter movie, trying to wow your players with a fireball isn't going to make the grade. When I've SEEN people teleporting, flying, chucking flame from their fingers and whatnot, you've got some very big shoes to fill before you're going to register much more than interest from most players.
