First, does character level have anything to do with spell power? I didn't think it did.
I was just about to hit the hay when I came across your question and I didn't want to leave you hanging until I came back online tomorrow (or whenever!). I can't answer your question with 100% accuracy but I don't think level has anything to do with how powerful a spell is. I only think it has to do with how many skillpoints you can add to a spell when you create it.
Second, I've got a level 8 personalized with 6 points invested in magic missiles. Does almost no damage at all to anything, even cheapo guards who lack all resistances. So when you say "Fire (2) Magic Spell," what exactly are you using?
Thanks.
Okay, I opened up my game (just for you!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />) and double checked how I set up the fire spell. It's an elemental spell on level 2. When I made this spell I clicked on "Wizard ------> Elemental ----------> Focussed ----------> Instant --------> Fire"(and added a skill point). Now, I can make this stronger if I want to or leave it the way it is. I chose to add one more skillpoint. Oh, shoot! I didn't check to see how much mana it uses! *pulls hair out* Sorry about that! But it's not the whole slot of mana (like one spell I created!)
Btw, I made a missle spell using the 4 elementals. That's the one that uses a hunk of mana. I invested 4 skill points in it before I realized what I was doing. LOL Live and learn (is one of my mottoes!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
I hope this helps! Have fun.
