==Concussion Damage Calculation==
The [[Damage Factor]] used to calculate [[Raw damage|Concussion]] damage (only), is .400. with a concussion damage cap of 35. The formula is [(.400 DF * ((ER + Channeling Bonus) - 100)]. A small random damage bonus is sometimes added to the calculated damage but this bonus will not increase damage above the cap.

Example with no channeling bonus

Warding failed!
The crystalline ice shards quickly orbit the troll, causing 24 points of damage!</pre>

Concussion damage = (.400 DF * (ER 161 - 100)) = 24 damage

If the spell was channeled in offensive stance with one open hand (phantom endroll bonus +20) the concussion damage would increase to a minimum of 32 (.400 * 81) since the effective endroll would have increased to 181 (161 ER + 20 channel bonus)

Concussion Damage Calculation

The Damage Factor used to calculate Concussion damage (only), is .400. with a concussion damage cap of 35. The formula is [(.400 DF * ((ER + Channeling Bonus) - 100)]. A small random damage bonus is sometimes added to the calculated damage but this bonus will not increase damage above the cap.

Example with no channeling bonus

>CS: +186 - TD: +55 + CvA: +11 + d100: +19 == +161
Warding failed!
The crystalline ice shards quickly orbit the troll, causing 24 points of damage!

Concussion damage = (.400 DF * (ER 161 - 100)) = 24 damage

If the spell was channeled in offensive stance with one open hand (phantom endroll bonus +20) the concussion damage would increase to a minimum of 32 (.400 * 81) since the effective endroll would have increased to 181 (161 ER + 20 channel bonus)
