Damage Calculations

Main article: Spell Calculations (Diablo I)

Real Damage:	Rec(slvl, 2*(Rnd[10]+Rnd[10]+clvl) + 4)
Min. Damage:	Rec(slvl, 4 + 2*clvl)
Max. Damage:	Rec(slvl, 40 + 2*clvl)
Quick Min. Damage:	(4 + 2*clvl) * (9/8)^slvl
Quick Max. Damage:	(40 + 2*clvl) * (9/8)^slvl

* The added damage from each character level is then multiplied by the spell level bonus, resulting in a much greater bonus the higher the spell level.
