If you face 20 targets, then the (maximum) 10,000 damage this spell can deal, will be divided evenly.
Or 500 damage per target.

"if a spell does 1000 damage to each target, ... with more than 10 targets, each target would take 1000 damage divided by the number of targets"

When N = 20, what is 1000 / N? Somehow I don't think it's 500...1000 / 2 is 500, so that would mean 20 = 2 which would pretty much break all mathematics.
