Also Astral Fires doesn't have "+" damage, and magic resistance negates. Bleah. Oooh, but I see that the area of effect has a "+" on it. Cool. If my mages ever get tired of throwing themselves into battle and decided to do some research, we'll look into that.
And a high magic pretender (or empowered + item boosted mage) not only gets a larger area of effect, but it becomes harder and harder to resist the magic. Then you add on an item or two that helps with spell penetration, and rings of sorcery and wizardry raise magic skill level _and_ penetration.
