Force Orb has 8 base damage plus 1 additional [[hitpoint]] per each 20 warding margin (endroll - 100). A successful cast will also inflict a [[Crush critical table|crush]] critical injury with critical damage. Training in [[Mental Lore, Manipulation]] provides an additional damage bonus but the exact formula is currently not known. However, the first extra damage point occurs with 2 lore ranks. It is possible that lore damage is based on seed 2 of the [[summation chart]] but that is just speculative.
A successful attack will inflict 8 base damage plus 1 additional [[hitpoint]] for each 20 warding margin (endroll - 100); a [[damage factor]] of 0.050.

A successful cast will also include a crush critical injury with associated critical damage. Training in Mental Lore, Manipulation provides additional damage based on seed 1 of the summation chart but it is necessary to replace ranks with ranks/2 (see lore table).

8 Base damage + trunc[(endroll - 100) * .050)] + ML, Manipulation ranks/2 (seed 1) + Crush Critical Damage

1. Endroll: 334
