I heard fireball is bugged and causes excessive damage. Considering the relative uselessness of other fire spells compared to fireball and even lightning, it seems odd that fireball is so powerful.
What I'm wondering is what exactly it is supposed to do and how it fubars.
I heard that it deals splash damage and direct damage to the initial target, that its splash damage is about 20 times higher than it should have been and was supposed to be 3/64 of impact damage and not 64/64, that it deals more damage to the splash than to the initial target [64/64 splash damage twice to area, 64/64 single hit and 3/64 overlapping splash to initial target] and various permutations of these.
So what exactly is wrong with fireball?

Nothing is impossible if you believe in it enough.
