That gives us 15=Pi*r^2 => r=sqrt(15/Pi)~=2.185
The problem is, apparently nobody (maybe not even the devs) knows exactly how the affected squares are chosen - I don't think it's "the 15 closest to the caster, breaking ties randomly in a uniform way".
Not true. Somewhere, Kristoffer put out a digram for what spells squares are affected in an area affect spell. I noted that the distribution was VERY peculiar.

There is very little chance that the tunes will work at range 2 (due to being overwritten) and only a moderate chance when used perfectly.

The *best* use, is with a high HP or high awe guy, right in the middle of the enemy. Preferaby with some regen going on.

So for example a carrion dragon, with awe-9/10 Nature 9.
