cool, next lvl I get on my epic sorceress, I will switch out some spells and see how the improved casting lvl works. Shes 35, so I got a little bit of wiggle room left before my spells are forever set in stone.

Lets see... 30d6 is roughly 105 damage, empower that to about 150 so maybe 2-3 of those will take out something level appropriate, with another 1-2 to account for saves/resistances.

I'm keen to jump in and give it a go!

I am indeed seeing the 100-150 damage range, which is lovely! I've gone from resting every 2-3 fights to resting every 4-5, and can now be confident that breaking invis to get my dumb AI summon to attack actually achieves something, thank you Driller!
Haven't tried delayed blast fireball yet, I think we missed that in the list.

Delayed Fireball was modified, only Storm of Vengeance wasn't changed. To change it will take more thought based on the way it works.

So the spells do feel better as base spells for sure, and for casters without the meta magic feats they are going to be an improvement. However on my sorceress, I still netted more damage overall by using a Maximized Ice storm, and a Maximized Flame arrow instead of chain lightening or delayed blast fireball. I already used horrid wilting in my 8th and 9th slots so the extra dice is nice there for sure. So in my case since I have all the meta magic I will be putting my spells back to how they were. Still though thanks for improving the arcane spells. I don't have a divine caster to test with, guess its a good excuse to level one and see what they feel like there.
