Two explosive fireballs, dodge and drop... and then?

On the gripping hand, Explosive Fireball is a great spell for burning up your FP very quickly. There is no FP savings for high skill level, so a 2d Fireball costs 4FP no matter how skilled you are. If you get lucky on the damage and do 10 points to your immediate target, the enemy standing 1m away only takes 3 (a good chance that'll be absorbed by DR), and enemies standing 2-3m away all take 1 point of damage, which again is unlikely to penetrate DR.

Unless your explosive-fireball caster has a lot of Energy Reserve, a large Powerstone, or a handfull of assistants with Lend/Share Energy, Explosive Fireball may not be a great choice as an offensive weapon.
