Combined damage: 200 + 200 = 400

Damage before defenses: 400 × 350% = 1 400,
Rounded means to the nearest whole number. Exact halves go to the even number, so 2.5 becomes 2.
The target's Magic Resist reduces this damage by 0.05% per point, up to 90%. Each point of the target's Magic Resist adds 0.05% to its chance to resist the hit outright. Each 1% of the caster's Accuracy subtracts 1% from that chance. Each level the target is above the caster adds 0.5%, and each level below subtracts 0.5%, up to 10% either way. The chance stays between 0% and 90%. See resistance and avoidance, the damage steps and moving targets and backstabs.
