A simple, elegant way to have that would be the possibility for this kind of spell to be cast on a higher level slot. We already know that fireball deals 5d6 damage. Ok, but that's as a 3th level spell. When you cast it using a 5th level spell slot, it should be doing a lot more damage (let say, 9D6...). If we don't have this kind of mechanism and if spells don't scale, then we will get a bazillion redundant, boring spells (fireball, slightly better fireball, fireball with a lot of smoke, fireball that push you back, fireball that really hurts and so on).It would be a waste of paper and a waste of variety : for each cure spell that ends up duplicated at every spell level, you have to sacrifice one fun, original interesting spell. Also, note that using spell slot this way allow to easily make the transition for mana point system, like 3.5 psi...</blockquote>
