Taunt and Mega-Taunt are essentially the same spell with one major difference. Taunt (for 2 pips) raises the threat level on all enemies by a fixed amount. Mega-Taunt, as an X level spell, raises the threat level on all enemies by the amount of pips you cast it with. I hope this makes sense.

I believe you are thinking of Distract and Taunt. Distract is the single target, while taunt is all targets.

Thank you I just thought there would be a difference other than how many pips it cost

No, no real difference, other than if you are trying to really draw fire. Mega-taunt is more effective to cast than taunt because, for instance, 4 pips worth would be like casting taunt twice.

The basic idea of Taunt and Mega Taunt is it (Even though nobody seems to know about it) adds tons of points to your threat rating (The reason why monsters may attack you and not somebody else) So ya.
