==Magic Damage Equation==

<p align=center><font size=3><var>Damage Dealt</var> = <var>D</var> {{math|times}} <var>MTDR</var> {{math|times}} <var>Staff</var> {{math|times}} <var>Affinity</var> {{math|times}} <var>Resist</var> {{math|times}} <var>Resistance Rank Reduction</var> {{math|times}} <var>MB</var> {{math|times}} <var>MBB</var> {{math|times}} <var>Day & Weather</var> {{math|times}} <var>MAB/MDB</var> {{math|times}} <var>TMDA</var> {{math|times}} <var>Potency Multipliers</var></font> </p>

Damage Dealt is calculated by multiplying the following terms in order (see above). After each multiplication step, the product is floored to the next lowest integer before continuing to the next multiplier. Each term after D starts with a base of 1.0 and is increased or decreased by caster and target stats and attributes as well as other effects.

# '''D''': INT-adjusted base spell damage
# '''MTDR''': Multiple-Target Damage Reduction (for area of effect spells)
# '''Staff''': Elemental staff hidden damage bonus multiplier
# '''Affinity''': Elemental affinity damage bonus multiplier (from [[:Category:Trial of the Magians Staves#Elemental Trials|Magian Staves]], [[Atma]], [[Atmacite]], and Elemental "Magic Atk. Bonus")
# '''Resist''': Reduction of spell damage due to [[resist]] states
# '''Resistance Rank Reduction''': Reduction of spell damage due to resistance rank
# '''MB''': [[Magic Burst]]
# '''MBB''': [[Magic Burst Bonus]]
# '''Day & Weather''': [[Day]] and [[Weather]] multipliers, including [[Iridescence]] and equipment modifiers
# '''MAB / MDB''': Caster [[Magic Attack Bonus]] factor divided by target's [[Magic Defense Bonus]] factor
# '''TMDA''': Target Magic Damage Adjustment ([[Magic Damage Taken]] reduction)
# '''Potency Multipliers''': e.g. [[Ebullience]], [[Klimaform|Klimaform Bonus]], [[Goetia Attire Set +2|Goetia +2 Set Bonus]], etc.

==Factors==

===D: INT-adjusted Base Damage===
====Definition of Variables====
*'''<var>V</var>''': Every individual damage-dealing magic spell has a base damage value denoted as <var>V</var>.
*'''<var>dINT</var>''': <var>dINT</var> represents the difference between caster and target INT: (Caster's [[INT]] - Target's [[INT]]).
*'''<var>M</var>''': Every individual damage-dealing magic spell has several [[INT]] multiplier values denoted as <var>M</var> for different <var>dINT</var> ranges.
** Note: For offensive {{Icon|light|whm}} white magic, substitute <var>dMND</var> for <var>dINT</var> (Caster's [[MND]] - Target's [[MND]])
*'''<var>mDMG</var>''': <var>mDMG</var> represents the "[[Magic Damage (Statistic)|Magic Damage]]" statistic obtained from equipped weapons and armor.
*'''<var>D</var>''': INT and "Magic Damage" adjusted base spell damage calculated from the terms above.

====Calculating D====
<p align=center><font size=3><var>D</var> = <var>mDMG</var> + <var>V</var> + (<var>dINT</var> {{math|times}} <var>M</var>)</font></p>
* The calculation of <var>D</var> is a piecewise function with the multiplier <var>M</var> changing at the following INT levels:
**<var>dINT</var> = 0 ~ 49
**<var>dINT</var> = 50 ~ 99
**<var>dINT</var> = 100 ~ 199
**<var>dINT</var> = 200 ~ 299
**<var>dINT</var> = 300 ~ 399
**<var>dINT</var> = 400 ~ 499
**<var>dINT</var> = 500 ~ 599
**<var>dINT</var> > 600 
* When determining <var>D</var>, the appropriate V and M values must be applied depending on the INT difference. For example, with <var>dINT</var> = 134, <var>V<sub>100</sub></var> should be chosen for the base damage, and the M which corresponds to <var>dINT</var> = 100 ~ 199 should be chosen as the multiplier. When choosing a V value, reduce the dINT by the amount factored into the V value to come up with the correct result (for example, at 134 INT, when using <var>V<sub>100</sub></var> in the calculation, use dINT = 134-100 = 34)

<p align=center><font size=3><var>dINT</var> = 134: <var>D</var> = <var>mDMG</var> + <var>V<sub>100</sub></var> + (34 {{math|times}} <var>M<sub>100-199</sub></var>)</font></p>

Notes:
* For <var>dINT</var> < 0, reduced M values apply. With a negative <var>dINT</var>, calculated value for <var>D</var> will be lower than <var>V</var>, potentially even 0.
* On tier 1 single target nukes, the damage increase from INT caps when dINT is 100, so additional INT beyond this level will not add additional damage. On tier 2 single target nukes, the damage increase from INT caps when dINT is 200, Tier 3 at dINT 300 etc... Up to Tier 6 theoretically capping out at 600 dINT. A moment of silence for the Wild Rabbits (INT = 6) in Ronfaure used to test these numbers...
* As shown by the multipliers below, the impact of INT on the adjusted base damage term is greatest for higher tier nukes, and for "lower level" elements (highest impact on [[:Category:Stone Spells|Stone spells]], then [[:Category:Water Spells|Water spells]], etc.).

*''Table Updated 1/13/2022''
*''Still need Geo and Helix Spell values.''

===MTDR: Multiple-Target Damage Reduction===
*For single-target spells, <var>MTDR</var> = 1.0
*For Area of Effect spells with one target, <var>MTDR</var> = 1.0
*For Area of Effect spells with T targets, 2 {{math|le}} <var>T</var> {{math|le}} 10, 
<p align=center><font size=3><var>MTDR</var> = 0.9 - 0.05<var>T</var></font></p>
*For Area of Effect spells with 10 or more targets. <var>MTDR</var> = 0.4
**For their damage calculation, single target damaging spells made area of effect by [[Manifestation]] '''are''' affected by MTDR.

===Staff===

*For [[Chatoyant Staff]] or HQ Staff matching element (e.g. [[Vulcan's Staff]] and a fire-elemental spell), <var>Staff</var> = 1.15
*For [[Iridal Staff]] or NQ Staff matching element (e.g. [[Fire Staff]] and a fire-elemental spell), <var>Staff</var> = 1.1
*For NQ Staff of the ascendant or opposed element (e.g. [[Earth Staff]] and a lightning-elemental spell) <var>Staff</var> = 0.9
*For HQ Staff of the ascendant or opposed element (e.g. [[Terra's Staff]] and a lightning-elemental spell), <var>Staff</var> = 0.85
*For all other weapons, <var>Staff</var> = 1.0<br>

===Affinity===
Affinity, also referred to as "Elemental Magic Attack Bonus", adds damage in a separate multiplier term from all standard forms of Magic Attack Bonus.

The base value for this term when no Affinity gear is present = 1.0.

Affinity has three primary sources:
* Elemental staves created through [[Trial of the Magians]] (generally labeled "Affinity");
* Certain [[Atma]] and [[Atmacite]];
* Several newer pieces of equipment, all added in the item level era (generally labeled 'Elemental "Magic Atk. Bonus"').

For [[:Category:Trial of the Magians Staves#Elemental Trials|Magian Staves]]:
*Damage affinity +1: <var>Affinity</var> = 1.1
*Damage affinity +2: <var>Affinity</var> = 1.15
*Damage affinity +3: <var>Affinity</var> = 1.20
*Damage affinity +4: <var>Affinity</var> = 1.25
*Damage affinity +5: <var>Affinity</var> = 1.30
*Damage affinity +6: <var>Affinity</var> = 1.35

Affinity in the form of element-specific attack power from [[Atma]] or [[Atmacite]] is additive with this term.

Elemental Magic Attack Bonus from gear is additive with this term. This statistic is found on gear such as [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring]].
* For example, equipping [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] (28%) and [[Archon Ring]] (5%) would make this term = 1.33 for {{dark}} damage.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] uniquely grants this stat for all elements. See its page for details.

Equipment that provides Elemental Magic Attack Bonus include:
* [[Perfervid Sword]] provides 15% {{Fire}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ngqoqwanb]] provides 15% {{Ice}} elemental affinity.
* [[Ossa Grip]] provides 2% {{Ice}} elemental affinity when the user has [[Ice Spikes]] active.
* [[Levante Dagger]] provides 15% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Marin Staff]] and [[Marin Staff +1]]  provide 10% and 11% {{Wind}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Kaikias' Cape]] provides 4% {{Wind}} elemental affinity.
* [[Quanpur Necklace]] provides 5% {{Earth}} elemental affinity.
* [[Donar Gun]] provides 15% {{Thunder}} elemental affinity.
* [[Weatherspoon Ring]] and [[Weatherspoon Ring +1]] provide 10% and 11% {{Light}} elemental affinity, respectively.
* [[Pixie Hairpin +1]] provides 28% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Archon Ring]] provides 5% {{Dark}} elemental affinity.
* [[Orpheus's Sash]] provides a range of 1-15% elemental affinity bonus for all elements dependent on distance from the target, for a maximum of 15% {{Elements}} elemental affinity if the target is within 1.93' from the player.

===Resist===
There are four possible [[Resist]] states for spells which deal magical damage. The likelihood of increasing resist states is dependent on the caster's [[Magic Accuracy]] and the target's [[Magic Evasion]] (the combined influence of the two determines the caster's [[Magic Hit Rate]]).
*Unresisted: <var>Resist</var> = 1.0
*1/2 Resist: <var>Resist</var> = 0.5
*3/4 Resist: <var>Resist</var> = 0.25
*7/8 Resist: <var>Resist</var> = 0.125

Note that for spells with multiple targets, the resist value for each target is determined independently.

===Resistance Rank Reduction===
When a monster's resistance rank to an element is 50% or lower, an additional forced resist of 1/2 = 50% is added onto the previous resist, calculated multiplicatively.

===Consecutive Elemental Damage Penalty===
Also known as the "Nuke Wall", there is a penalty applied to any elemental magic [https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/54555/the-odyssey-strategy-and-discussion/207/#3651076 ] cast on a monster for 5 seconds after that first instance.
*The 2nd nuke within 5 seconds deals -20% damage. While further nukes within 5 seconds deal -40~50% damage, varying with the target. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW7wuobIB0A ] [http://wiki.ffo.jp/html/4868.html ]
**More testing is required to understand this variance. {{Information Needed}}
**The full damage reduction penalty is not reached until ~2,500 damage has been dealt. It scales linearly until reaching said value. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW7wuobIB0A ] {{Verification}}
*[[Rayke]] with a corresponding elemental rune will reduce this penalty to 20% for all affiliated nukes, regardless of number of runes expended.
*This wall only applies to Notorious Monsters.
*The elemental damage from [[Skillchain]]s is excluded from this.

===Day & Weather===
<var>Day & Weather</var> is calculated with a base of 1.0 and additional values added or subtracted depending on the current [[Day|day of the week]], [[weather]], or certain equipment pieces (E.g. [[Elemental Obi]]s).<br />
Note that in most cases, the day or weather effect must "proc" for the bonus to be received - this is a random occurrence when the day or weather matches the spell's element (bonus damage) or is ascendant/opposed to the spell's element (reduced damage). This proc may be forced via wearing an [[Elemental Obi]].
*Base value: 1.0
*Day
**Matching day and spell proc: +0.1
**Ascendant/opposed day and spell proc: -0.1
**[[Sorcerer's Tonban]]/[[Sorcerer's Tonban +1|+1]] and matching day and spell ([[Elemental Magic]] only): +0.05
**[[Zodiac Ring]] and matching day and spell ([[Elemental Magic]] only): +0.03
*Weather
**Matching single weather and spell proc: +0.1
**Matching double weather and spell proc: +0.25
**Matching double weather and day spell proc: +0.35
**[[Iridal Staff]]/[[Chatoyant Staff]] with matching weather, and weather proc: +0.05/+0.1 (respectively)
**Ascendant/opposed single weather and spell proc: -0.1
**Ascendant/opposed double weather and spell proc: -0.25
**[[Iridal Staff]]/[[Chatoyant Staff]] with ascendant/opposed weather, and weather proc: -0.05/-0.1 (with respect to staff)
*[[Twilight Cape]] and matching weather proc '''or''' matching day proc (will never apply twice): +0.05

The <var>Day & Weather</var> factor cannot exceed 1.4.<br>
Note: [[:Category:Elemental Obi|Elemental Obi]]s and [[Helix]] spells force weather, day, and Iridescence procs.

===MB: Magic Burst===
The [[Magic Burst]] multiplier is dependent on the number weapon skills which resulted in the formation of the [[Skillchain]] which was magic bursted. This starts at a base of 1.25 for a two-stage Skillchain, with an additional 0.1 for every additional stage.

*[[Magic Burst]]:
**No Magic Burst: <var>MB</var> = 1.0
**2-stage [[Skillchain]]: <var>MB</var> = 1.35
**3-stage Skillchain: <var>MB</var> = 1.45
**X-stage Skillchain: 
<p align=center><font size=3><var>MB</var> = 1.25 + (0.1 {{math|times}} <var>X</var>)</font></p>

===MBB: Magic Burst Bonus===
Magic Burst Bonus is calculated as:
<p align=center><font size=3><var>MBB</var> = 1.0 + <var>Gear</var> + <var>Atma/Atmacite</var> + <var>AMII Merits</var> + <var>Trait</var></font></p>
*'''<var>Gear</var>''': See [[Magic Burst]] for a table of gear related bonuses.
**Example: With [[Sorcerer's Gloves +2]] (+0.1) and [[Menhit Leggings]] (+0.04) equipped, <var>Gear</var> = 0.14
*'''<var>Atma/Atmacite</var>''': See [[Atma]] or [[Atmacite]] for tables of atma/atmacite related bonuses.
**Example: With [[Atma of Illusions]] equipped, <var>Atma/Atmacite</var> = 0.1
*'''<var>AMII Merits</var>''': For [[Ancient Magic]] II, additional merits beyond the first yield a bonus on the <var>MBB</var> factor.
**<var>AMII Merits</var> = 0.03 when a level 2 Ancient Magic II spell is used in a magic burst.
**<var>AMII Merits</var> = 0.06 when a level 3 Ancient Magic II spell is used in a magic burst.
**<var>AMII Merits</var> = 0.09 when a level 4 Ancient Magic II spell is used in a magic burst.
**<var>AMII Merits</var> = 0.12 when a level 5 Ancient Magic II spell is used in a magic burst.
*'''<var>Trait</var>''': See [[Magic Burst Bonus]] for trait levels. This trait varies from 0.05 to 0.13 depending on the trait level.
**Example: A level 90 black mage would have Magic Burst Bonus IV, <var>Trait</var> = 0.11
*No Magic Burst: <var>MBB</var> = 1.0

The overall term caps at 1.4 prior to the addition of effects from the [[Magic Burst Bonus]] trait, for an absolute cap of 1.53 maximum at level 97 or higher BLM.

===MAB/MDB: Magic Attack Bonus / Magic Defense Bonus===
The <var>MAB/MDB</var> factor combines the effects of the caster's [[Magic Attack Bonus|MAB]] and the target's [[Magic Defense Bonus|MDB]].

The caster [[Magic Attack Bonus|MAB]] multiplier term is calculated as follows:
<p align=center><font size=3><var>cMAB</var> = 1 + (caster Magic Attack Bonus {{math|divide}} 100)</font></p>

Example: A player with [[Magic Attack Bonus]] I trait (+20), and [[Moldavite Earring]] (+5) equipped, would have a MAB multiplier of 1 + 25/100 = 1.25

Note: BLM job-specific element potency merits add +2 [[Magic Attack Bonus|MAB]] for the matching element per merit.<br>

The target [[Magic Defense Bonus|MDB]] divisor term is calculated as follows:
<p align=center><font size=3><var>tMDB</var> = 1 + (target Magic Defense Bonus {{math|divide}} 100)</font></p>

Example: An enemy with 50 Magic Defense Bonus would have a MDB divisor of 1 + 50/100 = 1.5

The <var>MAB/MDB</var> term is simply the caster MAB value divided by the target MDB value:

<p align=center><font size=3><var>MAB/MDB</var> = cMAB {{math|divide}} tMDB</font></p>

Example: For a player with 75 [[Magic Attack Bonus]] casting magic against a target with 25 [[Magic Defense Bonus]], <var>MAB/MDB</var> = 1.75/1.25 = 1.4

===TMDA: Target Magic Damage Adjustment===
Certain specific enemies or families of monsters have traits which cause them to take more or less magical damage on a percentage basis, generally referred to as the "[[Magic Damage Taken]]" statistic. Values for Magic Damage Taken are determined as a fraction of 256. 

The base value of <var>TMDA</var> is 1 (256/256) and this value is adjusted according to the fractional values for specific monster types or monster families, and other buffing effects the monster might have.

The effects of [[:Category:Shell Spell|Shell Spells]] active on targets are included in the Magic Damage Taken term.

Several examples follow, reference individual monster or family pages within the [[Bestiary]] for monster-specific information:
*[[:Category:Flan|Flan]]-type monsters take +64/256 (+25%) magic damage, <var>TMDA</var> = 1.25
*[[:Category:Ghrah|Ghrah]]-type monsters take -32/256 (-12.5%) magic damage, <var>TMDA</var> = 0.875
*An [[:Category:Ahriman|Ahriman]]-type monster (-64/256) with [[Shell III]] active (-48/256) takes -112/256 (-43.75%) magic damage, <var>TMDA</var> = 0.5625

===Potency Multipliers===
Other potency multipliers are applied individually to the overall equation, with flooring after each multiplication step. Example multipliers include:
*[[Ebullience]]: 1.2 (up to 1.41 with SCH Empyrean head)
*[[Rapture]]: 1.5 (up to 1.71 with SCH Empyrean head)
*[[:Category:Cumulative Magic|Cumulative Magic]] bonus: 1.05~1.25
*[[Quick Draw]] bonus (with COR Empyrean feet): 1.1~1.31
*[[Klimaform]] bonus (with SCH Empyrean feet): 1.05~1.25
*[[Goetia Attire Set +2]]/[[Wicce Attire Set]] bonus: 1.125~2.0

==Example Calculations==
===Example Calculation 1: Stone II ===
The following example is damage calculation for the spell [[Stone II]]. <br><br>
Assumed caster statistics are:<br>
*Magic Attack Bonus +150
*"Magic Damage" = 195 (e.g. [[Atinian Staff]])
*INT: 220<br><br>
Assumed target statistics are:<br>
*Magic Defense Bonus +0
*Magic Damage Taken -12.5%
*INT: 100<br><br>
dINT = 220-100 = 120<br><br>
The terms in order (ignoring terms which are 1.0 for this calculation):<br>
# D: 195 + 350 + (20 * 1) = 565
# MAB/MDB: 150 caster MAB, 0 target MDB = (100+150)/(100+0) = 2.5 multiplier | 565 * 2.5 = 1412 (floored)
# TMDA: 12.5% target MDT = 0.875 multiplier | 1412 * 0.875 = 1235 (floored)

Final damage: 1235 unresisted, with possible resisted damage of 617 (1/2), 308 (3/4), or 154 (7/8).

===Example Calculation 2: Thundaja on multiple targets===
The following example is damage calculation for the spell [[Thundaja]] cast on three targets. <br><br>
Assumed caster statistics are:<br>
*Magic Attack Bonus +100
*"Magic Damage" = 0
*Lightning magic potency (BLM merits x5) = +10 MAB
*INT: 180
*[[Apamajas I]] (Lightning damage affinity +6)
*Thunder weather (single) + [[Rairin Obi]] to guarantee proc<br><br>
Assumed target statistics are:<br>
*Magic Defense Bonus +25
*Magic Damage Taken -0%
*INT: 100<br><br>
dINT = 180-100 = 80<br><br>
The terms in order (ignoring terms which are 1.0 for this calculation):<br>
# D: 0 + 1200 + (30 * 3.75) = 1312 (floored)
# MTDR = 0.75 for three targets | 1312 * 0.75 = 984 per target (floored)
# Affinity: 1.35 for affinity +6 | 984 * 1.35 = 1328 per target (floored)
# Day/Weather: Weather bonus proc, 1.1 | 1328 * 1.1 = 1460 per target (floored)
# MAB/MDB: 110 caster MAB, 25 target MDB = (100+110)/(100+25) = 1.68 multiplier | 1460 * 1.68 = 2452 per target (floored)

Final damage: 2452 per target unresisted, with possible resisted damage of 1226 (1/2), 613 (3/4), or 306 (7/8).

===Example Calculation 3: Freeze II magic burst===
The following example is damage calculation for the spell [[Freeze II]] magic bursted on one target after a 2-step skillchain. <br><br>

*Magic Defense Bonus +25
*Magic Damage Taken -12.5%
*INT: 90<br><br>
dINT = 210-90 = 120<br><br>
The terms in order (ignoring terms which are 1.0 for this calculation):<br>
# D: 191 + 900 + (20 * 2.0) = 1131
# Magic Burst: 1.3 for 2-stage SC | 1131 * 1.3 = 1470 (floored)
# Magic Burst Bonus: 1.35 (13% trait, 10% gear, 12% Freeze II merits) | 1470 * 1.35 = 1984
# MAB/MDB: 131 caster MAB, 25 target MDB = (100+131)/(100+25) = 1.848 multiplier | 1984 * 1.848 = 3666 (floored)
