Apparently, my fizzle rate has gone up. I'm fizzling left and right,and fizzling on spells like traps which shouldn't fizzle. I'm really getting mad at it. :x If you're fizzling too like that, post. If you have any comments post.
Yes, I too have been fizzling a lot more. I noticed it in Zafaria more when I have a boost (gargantuan or colossal) on a spell. This has been with my myth, death, balance, and ice wizards.
Since Avalon my balance who rarely ever fizzled now fizzles too many times to count... I haven't made any changes to gear or anything. it just appears fizzle is worse. My husband is having the same issue with balance. It is to the ridiculous point.
