Is it too easy to cast powerful spells with RPM?

Glad to hear it.

It is SO GOOD to see you posting again, SP! :-)

In the setting I was thinking about it's not so easy to get to RPG-7 amounts of damage. In an ordinary medieval fantasy it's off limits too.

But I see your point, maybe I was concerned more then I should.

RPM tends to "look" bigger than it is. It's why you cut it up into pieces with the knife and fork so it's more edible.
