More damage than water (d6) but balanced by a throw (skill) roll. OK. Dig.

yeah, I figured a new skill roll would make it okay for a skill bump...

The problem, upon thought, is that one round is casting the spell then the next round is throw as each is a different action.

Just make the cast part of the throw.

That would be inconsistent.

A different way to do it might be to just up the damage to make it more worthwhile.

I don't see the issue of it being inconsistent. If it works, it works, and it's easy to understand anyway. All you're doing is tying in an extra skill after the spell is cast. Besides consistency, is there a reason you don't want this to be a thing other than in the meta magic?

Nope - happy to keep the weird stuff in meta. And only in meta.
But if we were to up the damage to make it worth going two rounds that is a possible work around.

I wouldn't really call this weird but all right. Then the other spells like Telekinetic Weapon need to be changed as well.

Yes.
Another possibility for this spell would be to 'power up' for X magic points then get to throw around lightning damage for 'combat' or possibly to increase the weapon damage by a bump from electricity.

Would d10 every other round be worth it Chris?

that's fine... I just find it amusing how so many of these spells have gone from KISS to complex, carry on...
