Although this fireball special ability can also grow in size, it just simply enlarges; the damage from the flames remains the same, without any explosive damage...
We can simply understand that Flame Explosion is akin to a bomb detonation, where both the shockwave and the high temperature are lethal.
On the other hand, the fireball is just about starting a fire, depending on burning to damage the enemy.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the fireball is trash, as this comparison is with awakening abilities. Compared to ordinary offensive abilities, the fireball is still quite powerful. After all, other abilities don't consume awakening energy, but the fireball requires the use of 1 awakening energy...
After Wang Tao roughly understood the fireball special ability, he snapped his fingers.
Pop~
A… little flame instantly appeared at his fingertip!
That was the effect of using up 1 awakening energy and a very small amount of mana.
