'''Spell Damage Increase''' (SDI) is an [[item property]] that, surprisingly, increases the damage of most magical attacks that are cast. While this property is capped at 15% for [[PvP]], the cap further increases from 15% to 30% for templates having no more than 30 modified skill points in another main skill like [[Magery]], [[Necromancy]], [[Mysticism]], [[Focus]], [[Ninjitsu]], [[Bushido]], [[Animal Taming]], [[Musicianship]], [[Chivalry]] and [[Spellweaving]]. For [[PvE]] there is no cap on spell damage, so pack it on.

'''Spell Damage Increase''' (SDI) is an [[item property]] that increases the damage of most magical attacks that are cast. This property is capped at 25% in [[PVP]] provided you dont have more than 30% of a skill in two different spell lines or [[Animal Taming]] or [[Parry]]. Then, you will become "focused" to that spell line and can display it from your titles menu, under overhead name, skills. So, if you have [[Imbuing]], [[mysticism]] and [[focus]] you can be a focused mystic, but not if you have [[mysticism]] and 31 in [[evaluating intelligence]]. It's noteworthy that [[chivalry]] is amongst the magical lines even though it has no spell affected by SDI. So, if you have 120 [[magery]] and 120 [[chivalry]], you won't be a focused mage. If you are not eligible to be focused, then your SDI pvp cap will be 20%.

The apparent maximum is 30% for special items (e.g., [[War of Shadows|War of Shadows Invasion Spellbooks]]).

Spell Damage Increase (SDI) is an item property that increases the damage of most magical attacks that are cast. This property is capped at 25% in PVP provided you dont have more than 30% of a skill in two different spell lines or Animal Taming or Parry. Then, you will become "focused" to that spell line and can display it from your titles menu, under overhead name, skills. So, if you have Imbuing, mysticism and focus you can be a focused mystic, but not if you have mysticism and 31 in evaluating intelligence. It's noteworthy that chivalry is amongst the magical lines even though it has no spell affected by SDI. So, if you have 120 magery and 120 chivalry, you won't be a focused mage. If you are not eligible to be focused, then your SDI pvp cap will be 20%. 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 18% for found rings and bracelets. The apparent maximum is 50% for special items (e.g., Shattered Obelisk Invasion Spellbook).

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 works with Word of Death, as the spell is not dependent on a secondary ability check, e.g. like Pain Spike, which involves Spirit Speak, or Holy Light, which involves Karma.

Calculating Spell Damage

On the other hand factor in resist lowering and additional damage received issues on the target like:

SDI Items

Heads

Necks

Chests

Legs

Arms

Robes

Cloaks

Sets

Rings

Bracelets

Talismans

Earrings

Books

The relative effective %Damage output is in parentheses to set the order.

If the goal is maximum damage, using a slayer spellbook to match your target is clearly the most important element. These are crafted spellbooks with 0 SDI just to make the damage comparison clear. No additional SDI, but slayer books:

Shields

Weapons

Maximum Possible SDI by items

As of June 2022, the maximum Spell Damage Increase from equipment is 185%, which is constituted from the following:
