In Sandy Petersen's Sorcery rules, a X intensity spell deals "1dX" damage.
Yes, Firearrow and Fireblade have a higher damage/MP ratio, but they require a weapon to be effective.
Our references are very different  |
But also note that the firearrow and fireblade spells replaces the damage of the weapon and the size of the weapon does not matter, its the fire that does the damage. And they also doesn't ignore armour (as disruption does).
The higher cost of divine magic is partly due to their near automatic chance of success and their long range and duration. I still think Gurps magic fits like a glove with the existing magic systems.
