Most offensive spells are now dealing double base damage, with weaker ones getting even bigger boosts to make them viable. The magic adjustments hit just right since enemies got tougher too - watch out for buffed trolls and goblins that pack way more punch than before. Good to know that late-game scaling got tweaked, so opponents won't become total damage sponges anymore

The spell crafting setup stays pretty deep, and you can really get creative with effect combos. Tip: experiment with stacking weakness effects to multiply your damage output. Mixing duration, power and special effects lets you craft some seriously potent spells that actually feel worth using now

Just keep in mind that while spells hit harder, enemies can take more punishment too so plan your approach carefully. The whole system feels more balanced overall with magic being a solid choice without making things too easy
