What effect does specialization level have on base spells?
Specializing in a spell line has two effects. Most obvious is that it grants you access to the spells in that specialization. You will get new, more powerful versions of each spell as you add spec levels. Specialization also affects the damage done by your “base” spells (the ones you get just by gaining experience levels). Here’s how it works: – If you don’t put any points into a specialization, then base spells in that specialization will vary wildly in damage, doing 25-125% of their nominal, or listed damage. – Putting points into a specialization will gradually raise the “damage floor.” this means that, if you specialize to 2/3 your character’s level, base spells will do 75-125% of their nominal damage. – Specialization points above 2/3 your character level will increase both the floor and ceiling on damage. A fully specced character (one with specialization equal to character level) will do 100-150% of nominal damage with spells. – Specializing above your character level will conti
