You know how they made spell damage scale with level? He wants that, except have it tied to your weapon's base damage instead of your level.
That's the thing though -- why would a level 50 mage, with higher stats and high level versus other monster do less damage simply because they have a lesser weapon equipped..? It didn't even work that way in FFXI -- A level 99 BLM will outnuke a level 10 blm using Fire I even while being naked because of other factors.
