Wizard

Spell Power is the value in your character window.

Skill damage
40 at rank 1, +40 per rank (200 at rank 5)
Damage before defenses
Spell Power + Skill damage

Example ,rank 5,200 Spell Power

400 damage before the target's defenses

Skill damage: 40 + 40 × (5 − 1) = 200

Damage before defenses: 200 + 200 = 400

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.

Stun

A feared target cannot be stunned. A shorter stun cannot shorten an existing stun.
