Spell Power is the value in your character window.

Damage %
150% at rank 1, +35% per rank (325% at rank 6)
Damage before defenses
Spell Power × Damage %,

Example ,rank 6,200 Spell Power

650 damage before the target's defenses

Damage %: 150% + 35% × (6 − 1) = 325%

Damage before defenses: 200 × 325% = 650,

Rounded means to the nearest whole number. Exact halves go to the even number, so 2.5 becomes 2.

The target's Cold Resist reduces this damage by 0.05% per point, up to 90%. Each point of the target's Cold 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.
