Fire Elf does a base of 30 damage when cast, plus 70 additional damage before each of the next three enemy turns, or 240 total base damage. This number may change if modifiers (charms, wards, etc.) are triggered.
Well, the card says 50 + 210, and the initial damage it deals is 50 (without modifiers). I just checked to make sure. Perhaps it was programed incorrectly. Either that, or I have something equipped that affects it.
The Advanced Combat Quest was only made to teach players how to use their spells. Other spells who are changed in the quest are the "Rank 3's", the frost beetle doing only 50 damage, and others. The Rank 3's did only 300 damage base, and the fire elf costs 1 pip for the quest and does 30+210 over 3 rds. Sorry Colagoda, you got one wrong this time :)

So anyways the spells were modified as a way of making the damage of the spells calculate to the exact health of the golem.
