Is there a reason to upgrade it other than its name?

There is now. Text has been fixed - was just a pasting mistake

Too strong. Getting more creatures on board is easier than accumulating quanta. This spell easily becomes extremely powerful, and downright OP with swarm tactics. Change to 1 damage per creature.

1 damage per 5 creatures would be less op. You wouldnt be able to do like 20+ damage to a creature then.

And you evade my scathing "too aggressive for life" rant by making it pretty useless in life stalls.
"Yay"?

Seriously, though, I feel 1 per creature is a little too weak.
But 2 per creature is a little too strong, given adrenafrog's probably not getting 5 creatures out.

1.5 per creature, rounded down, should do the trick.

With maximum 25 creatures on the field it would be a rather...situational form of Lightning

My thoughts exactly. Now to find a way to properly phrase it

[Espithel]

Done

[Treldon]

Close, but no cigar - it can target the opponent as well 

But otherwise your phrasing is neater than mine. Updating

Not bad.

Strong enough and doesn't give more power to stalls. Looks like something you'd run in a more domin oriented deck.

[Devourer]

I reaaally like the idea and I think the mechanic is balanced. However, I'm still iffy on Life gaining CC, even such thematically appropriate CC. It would certainly make Life more powerful and probably more balanced, but... its lack of control is one of its defining features. I like the card, but I'm not sure if I support the idea.

Drawing cards is not typical of fire, yet it has SoBr. There are such things as exceptions.
