Bugs

  •  AoE: 4.5 m (15 ft) Radius using a  Level 1 Spell Slot (wrongly displayed as  AoE: 4.0 m (13 ft) Radius)
  •  AoE: 6 m (20 ft) Radius using a  Level 2 Spell Slot
  •  AoE: 8 m (27 ft) Radius using a  Level 3 Spell Slot
  •  AoE: 10 m (33 ft) Radius using a  Level 4 Spell Slot
  •  AoE: 10.5 m (35 ft) Radius using a  Level 5 Spell Slot (wrongly displayed as  AoE: 12.0 m (40 ft) Radius)
  •  AoE: 12 m (40 ft) Radius using a  Level 6 Spell Slot (wrongly displayed as  AoE: 14.0 m (47 ft) Radius)
