Damaging spells are not recommended (the sorcerer is the answer for those wanting to deal damage with magic).

I disagree. The Wizzie in my current game is out the gate dropping 2d missile spells freely and looking at 3d in a few game sessions.


Granted they'll plateau there for a good long while (they don't have to, but it's a bit expensive to get to 4d and there are more 'point efficient' but slower ways than dumping 20 points into one skill).
