Throw Flame worse than Flame Tongue?
In the range of spellpower below Flame Tongue's cap, Throw Flame appears to have a significantly worse to-hit than Flame Tongue -- to the point that, when you account for misses, the damage-per-turn output of Flame Tongue is HIGHER than for Throw Flame -- at half the mana cost. Is this a reality or my distorted perceptions?
I'll see if I can set up some low-level casters in the arena to throw these at each other. It would also be interesting to compare it to the 100% hit / full-LOS-range Magic Dart.
It's come to be the last spell I learn from the starting book, if at all. Too much mana wasted on misses while trying to whittle down things at long range.
