I'm lvl 80 mage and with fire strike i'm more likely to hit an 8 than a lvl 13. I want to use fire blast, how much better will I hit compared to someone who only just learnt the spell? I know the max hits are the same. Thanks for any help in clearing up what effects higher hits

I don't think it matters. Like if your 99 mage, the max is still 22 with Ice Blitz :|

IMO, i think that your mage lvl sets how many time u hit the max hit of the spell, so if im using fire blast, at lvl 13, ill hit 8 like 1/10 of the time, with 99 mage like 8/10 of time. I think this is what u mean...
