    the old formula was something like ((potency of spell)+INT)*(Magic Damage on weapon)

    it heavily favored weapon damage over raw stats, although I'd assume the damage algorithms are a bit different (and probably more complicated now?) it seems that weapon upgrades are still the most significant

    Pretty much focus on Magic Damage, it factors in to every spell harder than even relavent stats, Heals heal more and attacks do more damage the more magic damage you have, its the main reason why you NEED to upgrade your weapon as you progress through dungeons, even if its just through white weapons. Nothing is more embaressing than a level 16 Conjurer trying to heal through Tam-Tara with a level 5 wand for about 80 health a Cure.
