Banshee Aura Power

[Ivory]

At 42 (necromancer), my banshee aura is doing 8 damage....when the minimum apparently should be 9 (and scale up as I level, but it's never improved).

I think this is an era thing.

March 14th 2000 spdat has banshee aura at a static 8 that does not scale with level:

This is unchanged from the retail EQ CD spdat (feb 2nd 1999):
