Spells.dbc

Hey guys!

I was looking at some posts about dbc editing and saw that you need to patch and such stuff. But I was wondering if you change a spells damage do you have to fix a patch for the spell to work like intended? I understand if you chance the tooltip or mana cost you need to fix the patch aswell but since it's damage maybe it won't be needed.
So what about it?

I can provide you some basic info about Spells.dbc... hope it helps!

Sorry if this is a noob question but still, is it possible to change the damage of example frostbolt by just changing the core or spells.dbc and not having a patch?
