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)
