He blasts the trapdoor away with a force 6 powerball. This creates a
huge
hole in the floor. Another player (the phys adept) makes to step down
into
the basement (ward is still up) and gets a sudden feel of danger and
backs
away to see a burst of fire below. (A fire elemental hidden until then).
They blast away the ward and our munchkin vaporizes the force 6 fire
elemental with a single manaball (force 6, 5 success, D damage).
And two force 6 blood spirits that make a run for him. He high tails it
back
to his body. The blood spirits manifest in the room before the door and
the munchkin powerballs them both and vaporizes both of them in one
shot...

Hi,
Quick question. He is throwing alot of Ball spells around. Unless
it changed, and it looks like it hasn't, those are area of effects. Now
off the top of my head, those have either radius or diameter of Force in
meters (I am leaning toward radius, but have no books near me). That
means his spells are either 6 or 12 meters in diameter. How close was
he to victims when he cast his spells? The fire elemental, did it
manifest right next to one of the PC's? Start using the area of effect
rules against him and see what happens. (Ok, you destroy the spirit with
a manaball as it manifests next to Paul. Paul roll a resistance against
a 6D with 5 successes from the manaball.)
