-Starburst is a strong AOE spell. It's valuable when surrounded, since it targets every space around you (and hits much further).
+Starburst is a strong AOE spell. It's valuable when surrounded, since it targets every space around you (and hits much further). Compared to [[Fireball]], Starburst deals more damage at most reasonable power levels, but has a chance to miss.
 If a monster isn't on a direct line of fire, try backing up. Since monsters try to take the shortest path to you, when you back up, they'll eventually line up with Starburst's attack pattern. See [[#Gallery|Gallery]] for a demonstration.

 ===Tips & Tricks===
-* Be careful around crystal [[wall]]s when using Starburst. As the bolts always travel in straight lines in all 8 directions, it's all too easy to accidentally bounce multiple bolts back at yourself.
