The SendingStone review

The #Fireball spell is a classic and beloved spell in Dungeons and Dragons. It deals a significant amount of damage in a large area and can be a game-changer in combat situations. However, some argue that it can be overused and can make encounters feel repetitive or too easy. Others argue that it adds to the excitement and unpredictability of the game. Ultimately, the use of #Fireball and other powerful spells should depend on the DM and their approach to balancing encounters. As with any spell or ability, it's important to use it strategically and in moderation to keep the game challenging and engaging.
