...you want arcane casters to have 1:1 comparable damage to martials, AND the enormous utility bag of the rest of the spells, too?
Yeah. Okay. Sure. Aham.
Insane utility my ass. Killing enemies is insane utility, if I can 2 turn a boss as a martial, and my martial utility is I can coat a venom to paralyze 95% of bosses in the game and autocrit them for half their life per turn, I don't care what you have to claim for caster utility. But do go on what insane utility a caster has when the game floods you with spell scrolls martials can use and magic gear that grants fly, talk to dead, guidance, feather fall, vault and misty step.
