Every time I try to control the battlefield with Grease or Web they explode spectacularly within seconds from something.

If you attack anything with Everburn Blade within 5 miles of a Grease or Web area... they explode.

Goblin uses bomb / flask / fire arrow.. they explode. Enemy spellcaster misses with a Fire Bolt.. they explode. Missed projectiles should generally fly right over small surfaces. But of course not if you're looking for any excuse and ignoring all logic just to trigger more boom boom.

Buthir throws a rock at a PC standing at the edge of a Grease.... it explodes! This is beyond ridiculous now.

This obsession with "synergy" and explosions is completely ruining the control aspect of a Wizard. These spells are meant to control the battlefield, not to be yet another excuse to create explosions, and weak ones at that. Knocking an Ogre down and keeping it at bay is infinitely more useful than dealing 3 damage to it.

Has anyone ever had these control spells last for more than 1 turn???

And by the way.. why do rocks thrown by a 16 Strength human explode and create an AoE blast knocking people back 5 meters? Is this total anime now? This stuff is really dumb.
