Flame Bolt hits for 2d4...even when it misses. The lower base damage will probably balance it ...in BG4 sometime. The strength of EB KB is a trifling matter when Shove is a bonus action that can push 4 meters (a lot more in practical terms). A 2-H warrior can reliably hit for 30+ hp per swing in the game and with Pushing Attack even further than either Shove or EB. A ridiculous high magic setting is a strong buff to primarily martial classes.
