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.

Yeah, I'm referencing the new BRP Magic system. A character with Blast does 1d6 damage per MP (no hit locations). A character with fire/cold does 1d6 over an area, and each MP either increases that by d6 or increases the area.
I won't be playing with Hit locations, personally, so the BRP method (as well as the possible Gurps conversion) works just fine with the slightly higher damage.
