Having never played EQ1 I cant comment. If you mean having got a fireball spell its power, reliability and range depends on both the number of times you have used it and your affinity with the element Fire then I would agree with you.

Just acquiring a spell should just be the first step in its use.


In fact I would prefer a small number of generic spells that could be manipulated as you gain level and ability.

so the generic spell Spark offers the option of Lightning bolt or Chain lightning then Lightning Storm. Its all the same spell the options appear as you become more proficient.

When you reach level 50 if you only used the spark spell it would be very powerful and the other spells in the chain although available would be very weak. Using all spells in the chain equally would mean all are useful but not deadly.

Guess I just love features that use strategy rather than brute force.
