Spell Damage Increase (SDI) is an item property that, surprisingly, increases the damage of most magical attacks that are cast. The property is capped at 15% for PvP. For PvE there is no cap on spell damage, so pack it on.

There is no formula needed for Spell Damage Increase because it is a true conversion, a 10% increase means your spell damage is increased 10% and so on. The intensity range of the Spell Damage Increase item property is 1% to 12% for found rings and bracelets. The apparent maximum is 30% for special items (e.g., War of Shadows Invasion Spellbooks).

Qualifiers

As with most code over time, Spell Damage Increase is not as straight-forward as it seems. It does affect Poison Strike and Wither, but it does not affect Pain Spike or Holy Light. It appears that it works with Word of Death, as the spell is not dependant on a secondary ability check like Pain Spike, which involves Spirit Speak, or Holy Light, which involves Karma. SDI impact of WoD needs to be confirmed.

Calculating Spell Damage

  1. A character's skill level of evaluating intelligence is the first thing that comes into play in calculating the base spell damage. The formula for how much spell damage your getting from your Evaluating Intelligence is this: ((evaluating intelligence * 3) / 100) + 1
  2. The next factor involved in spell damage is intelligence. The formula for this is 1% spell damage increase for every 10 points of intelligence, or (intelligence / 10) and drop the decimals.
  3. The next factor is the inscription Skill bonus. This bonus only takes effect when a character has achieved the level of Grandmaster or higher in Inscription. This is a 10% increase in the base damage for Magery Spells.
  4. And finally, factor in any SDI imparted from items.
