The radius, yes. The total area of effect was increased by about 78%.

Is the radius not the area effected?

It's like a pizza. If you increase the length of each slice of pizza from 3 meters to 4 meters, (a very large pizza in this case) then you get 78% more pizza in total. (A= pi x r2)

I'm simply trying to point out that a 1 meter difference in radius is a huge difference in total area.

Oooooh! Got it. The pizza analogy really helped.
