I'm wondering are there differences in the damage? For example, casting metal shards which does about equivalent damage as a fireball.. what is a difference between the two? And if you go higher in level you get something called a Flame Blade which does almost the same amount of damage as a fireball.
Are the damages more intricate than simple numbers? like can you do more damage with metal shards on heavily armoured targets cause it can pierce things? Or is it all simple... then does that mean the different casts are nothing more than funky special effects?
(they do look cooler as you level up!)I've still yet to figure this out. if anyone can shed any light on this i'd appreciate it!
