I checked Jarulf's Guide and it lists the damage for mages casting Flash as mlvl/32 and 4/64, so yes, the same seem to apply there and the weak one is really weak for anyone.
Jarulf,
I thought the 'weaker' effects don't occur 'behind' the monster -- as stated in your Guide 4.1.3 and 4.2.1 -- but rather in the tiles to the North of the monster regardless of the monster's facing. Is this not so?
If the weaker damage is the three northern tiles regardless of monster facing, you should plan to attack it from the North so that you should take the 4/64 damage, correct? (And this regardless of monster facing, for of course the monster will turn to attack you).
And if it is the player casting the Flash spell, it is also the three northern tiles that are the 'weaker' cast damage regardless of the player facing, correct? So when you are surrounded by monsters, it is always the three monsters to the North that survive a strong Flash attack(regardless of your character's facing), ergo it's in your best interest to try and place a wall to your character's North when using Flash.
Thus your Guide's statements (about it being the tiles 'behind' the monster/player) are incorrect?
