Spell Power is the value in your character window.

Damage %
140% at rank 1, +25% per rank (265% at rank 6)
Damage before defenses
Spell Power × Damage %,

Example ,rank 6,200 Spell Power

530 damage before the target's defenses

Damage %: 140% + 25% × (6 − 1) = 265%

Damage before defenses: 200 × 265% = 530,

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

Monster or NPC

The caster adds its own Spell Power, which its page lists for its level.

Damage %
140% at rank 1, +25% per rank (265% at rank 6)
Damage before defenses
Spell Power × Damage %,

Example ,the caster's 200 Spell Power,rank 0

230 damage before the target's defenses

Damage %: 140% + 25% × (0 − 1) = 115%

Damage before defenses: 200 × 115% = 230,

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