I should make a character designed around casting Fireball as many times as possible.
Just for the moment where the DM asks me what I want to do, I answer "Fireball", they ask "are you sure?", and I reply by producing multiple pages representing my spell list and it's just "Fireball" over and over again.

@Yuuki in 5e I don't know if you can do much better than wizard or land druid with the spell
Would be a fun question though: "What character build allows for the maximum number of fireball casts in a day

Also, does it have to be fireball, or just fireball-like?

(Obviously you're looking at before level 20, because a level 20 wizard has no limit)

(The 3.5 PrC Blighter had an at-will standard action burst-on-caster fire effect that dealt non-scaling damage and set things on fire.)

@DavidCoffron Just use Hackmaster? Every spell level has a Sidewinder Fireball (Factor X), where each die of the fireball does 1d6+X-6 damage, minimum 1.

@Yuuki the main wizard character in this manga basically does that as his main combatmethod (the only spell he's mastered but he is so good with it that he cam best most with just that spell)

@BESW I guess to emulate the situation I have in mind, it really doesn't matter what the spell is.
Although being combat-only would be what makes it funny.

3.5 also had a feat where so long as you had a fire-type spell of a certain level or higher available to cast, you could make a miniature fireball-like effect at will, with its effectiveness scaling with the level of your highest prepared fire spell.
