Well I'm not sure if we both have misunderstood the RQ3 crit & impale rules but I have interpreted the rules in the exact same way.
So I would also get 36 points on a crit and then roll the damage bonus.

IMG if you didn't name what spell, or generally what spell, you were aiming for 
you'd hit the protection 5 and the dispel magic would fail. I don't have a 
problem with the individual targetting of spells, I just think Countermagic 
should protect the caster just as much from Dispel magic as it should from 
Disrupts, Sever Spirits etc...

As for Fireblade, you're right, it does balance quite nicely as you describe 
it. But why do you think the damage for a criticalling truesworded scimitar 
with Bladesharp 4 is 2d6+8+16? I've alawys played that an critcal from an 
impaling weapon does maximum damage possible, so an scimitar that imapled would 
do 2d6+4, so if it was a critical that'd be 16 points straight off the bat, if 
it was truesworded that'd be 32, plus the bladesharp 4 makes 36 points on a 
crit, plus damage bonus. Have I misread a rule all this time?
