Wow, you people simply are stupid.  I can't believe that any of you passed through High School.
Code:
Combat casting provides two distinct benefits.  The first is the
ability to attack once per round while casting.  This style of fighting 
is incredibly difficult - even with special training it is impossible
to make multiple attacks per round while casting a spell.  For this
reason many combat casters use the largest weapons available.
Combat casting allows for a paladin or hellion to get in 1 attack per round while casting a spell.  That's per round, not as he has cast a spell.  As you can clearly see there is some attack being thrown when flamestrike is cast.  Flamestrike is not a weapon.  It is a spell.  50/50 damage only works on 
weapons.  Furthermore, flamestrike is made out of fire, which would mean that it does 100% fire damage.  If flamestrike were made out of iron or adamantite then it would do 50/50 damage.  Through logical deduction we have concluded that all of you are idiots.
However, I still <3 Konge.
All of that being said there is a problem here.
