12 "companies" of aprentices (Aid Spell)
2 companies of Wizards

Let's see, call it HP and convert to BTU's and I get 105,000,000.
1.3m^3 is like 80.... something feet cubed... 52"? 54"? 2.5tones of water
I've pulled the 1pt dam = 100psi straight outta my neathers.
Finally, alot of an explosion is pressure huh?
Granted that (much like how one sees Flying) a Fireball may be ment to refer to a very energetic plasma but then it's a packing problem huh? How much of the stuff can I get into that space before it gets to a boom state?
How about a world where every single Wizard had a crystal ball that allowed all Wizards to focus their power on a singel spell?
Is that a limit on how big a Fireball can be?
Nope, but my point is that even if the potential Fireball is unlimited in potental Damage (i.e. destroy Universe, as far as order goes anyhoo) in design, there shouldn't be an infinate number of people, ST, etc.

All Aid 1 spell.
Of course your correct about running with the average, but I'z going for maximum effect with this example.
Does it leave a crater?
Based off that cubed hex I've got the centerpoint of the fireball 2'2" above the centerpoint of the hex.
1g per cubic cm for water
frozen water is about the same density as wood
~5g per cubic cm for rock
Also pass-through damage.
How many Houses (~ 500pST) must a Joe Average Figure stand behind too survive inside the blast damage radius?
