Area of Effect (also known as AoE) is a term which refers to any spell or attack which effects more than one tile simultaniously. In order to balance this effect, as the damage area is spread out it loses some of its potency, specifically 10% for each square out from the center targeted tile, which is 100%. It should be noted that this effect is an average, as the damage appears to be rerolled per each monster, so it is not uncommon to have a monster far from the center take more damage than the monster in the middle.
Damage is dealt to the center first, then clockwise around.
