[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 4459071, member: 17077"] I love flaming sphere. It has quickly become my favorite wizard spell. However, once I reach level 15, it will become obsolete and replaced by a level 15 daily spell. Wanting to keep the basics of the spell, and loving lightning as I do, I made this level 15 spell to replace it - ball lightning. It works exactly like flaming sphere, it just deals lightning damage and has its damage upgraded to be a level 15 spell. My question is, does the damage look okay for a level 15 daily? I'm not really sure how much I should up the damage from the original level 1 spell, since there really isn't a similar level 15 spell to compare it to. [b][size=3]Ball Lightning[/size] - Wizard Attack 15[/b] [b]Daily * Arcane, Conjuration, Implement, Lightning Standard Action - Ranged[/b] 10 [b]Effect:[/b] You conjure a medium size ball of lightning that occupies a square within range, and the ball attacks. Any creature that starts its turn adjacent to the ball lightning takes 2d4 + Intelligence modifier lightning damage. As a move action, you can move the ball lightning 6 squares. [b]Target:[/b] One creature adjacent to the ball lightning [b]Attack:[/b] Intelligence vs. Reflex [b]Hit:[/b] 4d6 + Intelligence modifier lightning damage. [/QUOTE]
