Poor sticky flame
FE got one of the greatest overhauls in the game. Foxfire is brilliant. New FE is well balanced and even with first iteration flame wave it never felt apologetically powerful like the original IE redesign. Even with completely useless sticky flame.
What is sticky fame designed to tackle nowadays? Spells like Poisonous Vapours will do just as much damage to a creature equally susceptible to fire as poison - which is most creatures you'd encounter when relying on a level 2 spell. Sticky flame doesn't ever hit irradiate damage and irradiate hits every tile.
I actually never used it but remember vividly around .10 how people raved about sticky flame. everyone was like, "ohh yeah, stickly flame." was this overhype? or have other spells been brought to an appropriate power level over the years and this poor guy has been left behind?
