Do you just do maximum damage to everything in the area (assuming they all fail their save)? This seems a bit overpowerd to me. Or is it just for one target?   For a more general question: do the rules specify if you roll the damage once for an AoE spell and apply it to all targets or do you roll for each target? I checked to Combat and magic sections of the PHB and I cant find it mentioned anywhere.
