Spell Power is the value in your character window.

Skill damage
1 800
Damage before defenses
Spell Power + Skill damage

Example ,200 Spell Power

2 000 damage before the target's defenses

Damage before defenses: 200 + 1 800 = 2 000

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.

Lifetap

Heals the attacker for 35% of each hit's damage after the target's defenses, Ward and Mana Shield, rounded down, so a 200-damage hit heals 70. Damage beyond the target's remaining Hit Points still counts. Lifetap healing bonuses, such as Lich Shroud's, multiply the healing. See lifetap. The attacker's Compassion blessing adds 1% to 10% to the healing.
