[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8788935, member: 6987520"] Maybe I missed something in the discussion, but what "rule" are you referring to? I posted above I would allow a caster to learn a different damage type (especially elemental damages) for a spell, but it would be a separate spell from the original. So, if a PC learned [I]fireball[/I], they could learn a separate spell [I]lightning ball[/I], simply substituting lightning damage for the fire damage. Now, knowing one spell and being able to change the damage type when the spell is prepared is a bit more extreme, and changing the damage type when it is [I]cast[/I] is really too much IMO. Prepared is feasible (when studying the spell you alter the formula slightly to change the damage type), but spontaneous when cast should have a cost: a feat, very limited uses per day, metamagic (there was a UA one that did this IIRC--it might have even made it into Tasha's but I can't recall...).
