I keep running into this during play. After a save game load, the calculation for damage bonus on Burning Blade always reverts back to the minimum +2, no matter how many Fire Shrines I have currently or when the spell was cast.

As you can see in the screen shot I have 4 Fire Shrines, which Flame Blade should grant +10 fire damage, but my Heroes all area getting only a +2.

If I dispell and recast the spell, I get the correct +10 until the next game load.
