UI3 lists -30% dmg to fire spells in the JP tooltips.

Ah, then you're right. This means transpose into F3P is still a gain, and we'll be choosing between using the guaranteed Firestarter for safety in astral phase or for damage coming out of umbral phase (and this second thing also requires being able to profitably cast Xeno or Thunder).
