Roll 10d6, then multiple the result of that by 1.5.
You can't multiply the number of dice. What if you only had a CL 9 Empowered Fireball? That would be 13.5d6 - you can't roll half a die. So you figure the damage first then multiple (or divide, in the case of someone making their saving throw for half damage).
In Pathfinder, it's 10d6 x 1.5. I believe, however, in 3rd edition, it was 15d6. So, you're not crazy. ;)
Don't forget to also add the 50% to additional damage from the spell.

Nope. While the example in the book is Magic Missile, the feat very clearly said to roll then multiply in 3.x.
Say I get the average of 10d6 and end up with 35 damage. I would then multiply that by 1.5.
35 x 1.5 = 52.5 damage, rounded down to 52 damage.
This is not only the official way to do it, it also keeps you from getting short-changed on odd levels.
Reading the rules FAQ, does the numerical bonus from sorcerer bloodlines like Orcish bloodlines +1/die damage or an evokes intense spells bonus damage also get empowered?
Yes. Take the total generated, including all modifiers and multiply by 1.5.

Yes, that is correct.
