>>Is the new TM system going to have variation like this, where some things are on the low side, and some on the high side? Or will there be a single value that all spells are pegged to? (This ignores multi-shot spells, which I understand trade damage for accuracy.)

There isn't only one single template, but no template is supposed to be actually better or worse than the other. A few spells might break template if there's an excellent reason (TKT comes to mind), but it's not meant to be common.

The TM templates are also damage-type agnostic, so it isn't a case of having a single Fire Spell template that everything that a spell must possess if it will set something on fire. Instead it's more like "Here is the template for a single-element spell that's supposed to do a bit of physical damage incidentally."
