Does "Magic Power" affect only spells which cost mana or also the ones that only have a cooldown, e.g. Eye Lasers? I'm a bit confused right now and want to make sure my assumption that it does affect all spells is correct. Thanks and here is a screenshot depicting the magic power I'm referring to
It affects all spells that have scaling to magic power, even some procs. It doesn't matter what the activation type is, magic power's effect is on a per spell basis. Afaik off the top of my head eye lasers does scale just not very well.
If you go into your steam/common/dungeons of dredmor/game folder and check spellDB.xml, you can search for each spell and check how it scales with Magic Power (CTRL-F strongly recommended). The first damage type listed will be its base damage, then the next one will be the multiplier applied to Magic Power. After Magic Power is multiplied, the it's added to the base for the amount of damage dealt.
Thanks, and wow that is some stuffed file. I think I'd better stay off it knowing magic power affects all spells; don't need to know the exact values
I'm not suggesting attempting to memorize the multiplier for every spell you think you might cast, but it's useful knowing where the file is in case you want to check if a spell scales well or not. Something may or may not be worth building around.
