Shocking Grasp scroll description

Despite the description stating the damage would be 1d8+1/level it actually is 1d2+1/level. Makes this spell even more useless. And despite the claim of a developer in a former thread on that topic, the description of the scroll is NOT fixed. Please fix this.

[EDIT:] Yes, you are right. But the description of the scroll is off, even though. Changed the title.
[EDIT2:] If the fix is actually pending for the next patch, delete this thread please.

    it does 1d2 Fist damage and 1d8+1/level electrical damage. I just checked the release version.
    And use it at high levels against Shadow Fiends (they have -50 resistance against electricity), it will stop being bad and it will do nicely (yes, yes).

    Not to mention that when Shocking Grasp reaches its damage output cap it does 1d2 fist damage and 1d8+20 electrical damage with no save. That is some pretty significant damage for a level 1 spell (way out performs magic missile).

    Checked the scroll and it uses the Cast Spell effect opcode so it can't be wrong. And the description is the same, just their strings are different.
    @Troodon80‌ I clearly don't see a bug here, although the description could be changed for better understanding.
