This fix leads to unexpected heavy damage: i could do 10k+ damage with Ice Storm at lvl 10. This is more a cheat than a fix.
I'm now asking me wether it's good to use any of these user fixes because i hate to cheat!
I think he misquoted the line, though it's hard to say because all of the lines have moved since new code was introduced in the patches. Anyway, it's actually a change made to line 1203, which refers to the targeting and not to the damage. As far as I can tell, it's also something they put in Patch 2 so you don't need to make the change anymore.

Hope that helps. And even though you hate to cheat, you really ought to say "are you sure this is right?" instead of making suspicious accusations. We don't like to cheat, either.
