Various changes/additions[]
The addition of 
Bouncing Blade means there are now more "Spell Damage per hit" types than "Spell Damage total" types - the classic 
Fireball type actually counts as both - so I rephrased it so AoE is no longer an "exception". I also pointed out that in most cases the simple increase in the number displayed on the card is the quickest way to figure out what the spell will do. Also added info on variable-damage spells, Secrets, and Betrayal.
I would guess Secrets use the Spell Damage at the time that they trigger, not at the time they were cast, but I wasn't sure, so feel free to add that if you know. - jerodast (talk) 16:14, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Sparkles are gone[]
Today I was testing some details concerning damaging effects and I noticed that mousing over a source of Spell Damage does not highlights affected cards in hand anymore! On the web I found the following: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/5fswfk/new_update_removed_the_spell_damage_sparkles/ Is this a temporary bug or an intended change due to the new Grimy Goons mechanic?
