So I actually have all three dark spells and spent quite a while this week experimenting with them and watching Youtube videos. I started to look into the math because even at level one, the EQ spell definitely kills all the walls it is dropped on if you use four of them. On YouTube, you can see a few videos of the new spells but they are almost always max level spells. I thought, "Well, if it takes four level 1 spells, then it would be awesome if it only takes 2 max level spells." So, I was actually trying to figure out just how devastating that would be and discovered that the EQ is actually much less devastating that I expected and that, additionally, at least according to the math, the EQ level 1 should not be knocking down walls.

I really like this spell but I don't see it replacing jump in most cases. Jump uses half the spell space to get basically the same result and doesn't require hundreds of DE to make a bundle of spells. Because it seems like it is specifically aimed at flattening walls, I also don't see much reason to ever upgrade this spell when it takes the same number of spells to do the work no matter the level of the spell.

Final thought: maybe saying it does "four times" damage to walls does not mean it is a multiplier, but instead it just does the work to the walls if you use it "four times".
