This is discussed in awakenings with respect to spirits.

The fireball however is another story entirely! :)

Note there are only 3 standard spells that go area effect when
grounded, powerball, fireball and hellblast, the rest are
manipulations and won't dround or mana or sustained etc etc. All
these hurt the poor epicenter like mad :)

However the research power area stun spell makes life real fun :)
