Fireball is still better than Burning Hands, because the area of effect is larger and usually more convenient, but it isn't stronger in every situation. It's great for multiclass wizard/clerics, who get to maintain their expected efficacy even if they only have access to low-level spells.I think the slot scaling system is hurt by the existence of high-level spells which break the formula. The fact that Meteor Swarm hits so much harder than Fireball IX is unfortunate, but given that it's only going to show up in very high-level games anyway, the impact isn't that significant. The fact that Heal is so much better than Cure Wounds is much more disruptive.</blockquote>
