calculate balls

[AR_chie]

May be I didn't search help file enough, but I can't find calculating damages from magic balls.

I.e. I breathe fire ball radius 3 with 100 dam in center. The next 2 circles give smaller damages... how smaller?

I will post details below, WARNING SPOILER
====SPOILER SPACE===



































































Many spells will produce some kind of ball. For all ball effects,
damage is reduced by range. The amount of damage at the center is
listed in the descriptions. This damage is reduced by 50% at range 1,
by 66% at range 2, by 75% at range 3 (for large balls), and by 80% at
range 4 (for giant balls).

So there you go!
