I just started DMing a campaign with everyone starting out at Level 5. In this campaign I have an Oracle with a Flame foci so I thought I'd look through the class and get a good feel for it. Most of the revelations don't seem too bad, but I really think that Firestorm looks extremely overpowered. When a character could get it they could cover 110ft of ground with 11d6 damage! I realize this is a once per day thing, but with a good roll this could wipe out an entire combat in one turn.
While I've heard it compared to a fireball, fireballs have the disadvantage of a massive blast radius that can be hard to work around rather than freeform 10ft cubes that can snake all over the place if they are touching. Am I making too much of this? I don't see any other foci having such a powerful ability.
