I wouldn't want to use Weapon Storm in a confined space either tbh, the idea is to hit as many enemies with it as possible. In cramped quarters chances are I'm only going to get a couple enemies and I'm more likely to hit the party.

Out of curiosity how many enemies do you think there are in the game that are vulnerable to physical damage? It seems like fire is more likely to be extra effective, especially since most classes in the game deal physical damage already.

For that matter fireball is probably going to be better just because preparing it gives me the option of dealing fire damage when I do find something weak against it, and if I do need to do physical then I still have the sword.

"Weapon Storm only does the damage listed in the spell," which is what exactly, because the spell doesn't list any damage type other than, "the same type as the weapon," which is either piercing or slashing depending on my mood since it's versatile.

... and no it doesn't, 4d12 is roughly 26 damage on average rolls and a fireball heightened to 4th level is 8d6, which does 28 damage on average. I'm basically gimping myself by not using fireball, which also doesn't require me to get close, which raises the question, why ever bother with the spell at all?

I have a question about the damage Weapon Storm does. I have a wizard with a flaming greatsword, (plus the fighter dedication feats needed to actually wield it, not necessary to cast the spell I know but it's neat.) It would be nice if I could use my fourth level focus spell "Elemental Tempest" with the spell, but I don't know what "same type as the weapon" actually means rules-wise. The greatsword does either piercing or slashing because it's versatile and a flaming one does extra fire damage.

It feels like the intent was to let me use the weapon's rune damage type because otherwise no player would pick this spell if they were an evoker planning to take, "Advanced School Spell," which is probably most wizards because the focus spells are really good. It isn't any better than just heightening a fireball, using that to get the extra focus spell damage on top of the regular fireball damage, and I COULD do that but it wouldn't be as thematic for my character.
