| why is it not fire damage instead of earth damage? |
PRobably because otherwise there would not be an even distribution of different element damages for spells, which too strongly bias certain enchants.
Secondly meteorites are made of rock (hot rocks I grant you, but fundamentally bits of rock) |
Just reread what I posted and it lacked clarity
ie if meteorite rain was a fire spell, then the only enchants anyone would get would be fire and air - which would cover you for lightning and chain lightning, fireball and meteorite rain. There would fundamentally be no point in Earth or Water enchants without it being this way. |

| Nice point milestag.. but as it is, i imagine meteorites to be rock and not fire anyway. The heat is just due to friction of fall. |
| Maybe it could be 50/50 fire/earth elemental damage (or some other split) ;) |

Okay so you want meteorite rain to be treated specially? There is no other dual natured spell as far as i know. This will have in game implications too(think resistance), so lets not toss around ideas so casually :p |

There is no point to Water now either. Lol. :P |
| isn't ice clod and ice ring water? |
| Sure, but who uses them? |
| 80/20 earth fire would be more likely. |

But they aren't on fire.. |
Those rocks come from sky, the friction of the gravity will heat them up.
When they land on ground and hit their targets, they'll cause damage from the mass of objects (earth), and some extra from the heat caused by entering in the gravity zone (fire) which could also contribute to some minor splash damage kind of, due hit dissipation and propagation or energy releasing? (don't quote me on that.)
If you take an iron bar, it would be cold by default, but if you heat it up until it become red like, and you press it against a human skin, you'll burn it up. Meteorites would be more or less like that, they're just cold stones, mass objets, but if you heat them up, they'll do their damage of impact plus the heat they've absorbed. Although the biggest part of the damage would be definitely earth based. |
Putting aside all this science( I knew all this before hand -_-)
But the thing is this game is based on fantasy stuff and in every other game meteor damage is by fire...and in real life also when a meteor falls the instant damage is done by blazing of environment and the shock wave increases the damage area but is not instantly responsible for the death |
| a meteor is not only the things that come from the space.it could be any rock just floating 20 meters on the atmosphere above the battlefield.when the magician decides to bring it down the meteor becomes a meteorite and is capable for only earth damage. |
for Lady sofiouta:
a meteor from 20m....hmm, the total force such a "meteor" would exert will be around 500N and that is not enough to wreak havoc so this is invalid.
Other than that, the picture for the spell clearly shows fire, or more correctly blazing rock which is dealing high force damage no doubt but is also burning, emphasis on burning please, the creature, so either it should have fire spell effect or dual nature should be introduced |
in real life also when a meteor falls the instant damage is done by blazing of environment and the shock wave increases the damage area
Thats due the shock of two antagonist forces, the mass + speed, shocking against a solid mass that intervene the movement. The heat isn't the main cause for the shockwave proliferation, the masses are.
What I do not know however, is if the heat can enhance the shockwave area or not, even if that's for a very small percentage of it.
As for fire raining from the sky, then first off, it should be renamed as "Fire storm or raining of fire" instead of meteorite rain.
Secondly of, how the fire could possibly survive without being extinguished?
If the 'other games' prefer to portrait meteor rain using fire as the main source of element damage, they're all wrong. |
I believe the question "why is meteorite rain earth damage?" has been answered?
There is no point to Water
Do mind that water elemental damage spells have been properly rebalanced and now deal much more damage:

Point 10: Water spells now deal more water elemental damage. With the Dominion of Frost talent, the freezing effect of Ice Ring now affects all targets to the full extent. |
| for mycroft, the magician can apply some magic force too to drop them down and get ome more g.not only let gravity do the job.some fire can be seen cause of the friction but not for enough time to heat the rock cause rock is a bad thermal condactor |
