Nuke vs. Nuclear

Come lv. 23 or 24, the Black Wizard can conjure up an enormously powerful force and fire it from his hands like friggin' Goku, obliterating his foes to eradicate Hit Points with a damage range of 250-450.

NUKE

But many hapless adventurers have wandered down the wrong corridor in the Sky Castle, and after taking a pre-emptive 300 damage smack, face a well aimed NUCLEAR

As far as I can tell, the damages are roughly the same, but the names are different. This implies that, somewhere, there is a nuance of difference between these two ultimate power spells of mass destruction.

What is the difference?

Nuclear is an enemy skill, not a magic spell. That's pretty much all I can gather...

Nuke is a magic spell.
Nuclear is a weapon that you don't want to get to attack too close to your vim...I mean erm...stars?

NUKE is of course a player attack, accessible only to the Black Wizard. It has a base effectivity of 100, meaning it's damage ranges from 100-400 against all targets. It's non-elemental, so it does not do extra/less damage against certain targets. NUCLEAR has a effectivity of 80, giving a range of 80-320 against all targets. It's non-elemental so it's damage cannot be reduced (not even a Ribbon will help here). Warmech has a flat out 1 in 4 chance to use NUCLEAR on his turn.

Nuke is a verb. Nuclear is an adjective.

Thanks. That's what I was looking for.

Nuke can also be a noun. :D
