Spark

Mage skill · Lightning line · tier 1

Beta 0.7.2

A short snap between the fingers. Enough.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 6 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Spark scales with Lightning Damage. Its value at each rank is 10 + 2.9 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	12.9	15.8	18.7	21.6	24.5	27.4	30.3	33.2	36.1	39

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Lightning skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
