Awesome, man! I wished I could correct some minor grammar mistakes that I noticed as I browsed through the spell pages...but apparently I am only allowed to edit the tables themselves.
Wait, what? That doesn't make any sense, how come you can't edit the pages? Can't you clickon th edit button up top on the page?

How long do the damage formulas get? If relatively short, I would tuck them into the table as two more rows: one for the header and one for the formula. Then as part of the template or on another page, I would create a small legend explaining what the variables mean (Rnd, slvl, Mag, etc)
Looking at this right now, it seems a complicated solution what I opted for. I think a page with all damage calculations collected, together with explanations, might be a better solution. I find myself simply not adding enough to each individual page as it is.
I think for now I'll simply remove the full calculations from the spell pages and add a separate page for that later, possibly linked to from the spell template or the navbox.

That's going to require some explanation to the average reader I think, and it might be a good thing to include Jarulfs "quick damage" calculations, which are approximations that are almost correct.

It's not really straightforward what those mean, and seeing as they're directly relevant to what's displayed on the spell page, I think I need to include them. And since every page is going to have a == Damage Calculation == section (or equivalent) I think they can just be tucked down at the bottom on each page.

Of course, this is going to look a little different if we display Golem instead of Fire Ball. I haven't checked how that's going to turn out yet, but it shouldn't be a problem to just replace the damage cells with hit points etc.
Those spells like Arcane Star and Bone Spirit...do they do a specific kind of damage as far as you can tell? Is it just regular magic damage or are they just red like that for no particular reason?
I believe they're red because they also incur a life cost when cast. Unless you use Mana Shield that is.

I still haven't reached something I'm happy with, though I at least have the general the general design done. I just need to figure out how to display all the necessary data in an efficient manner.
I would merely just specify which is increased by Magic. But you're in for a real headache if you try to do stats of spell damage based on how many Magic points they have.
Currently I'm displaying how the spell increases in power depending on how those three variables (level, spell level and magic) change. It's turning out pretty well I think.

Still though, you can see what each spell's base damage is in your spellbook. And it even adjusts the amount shown when you upgrade it with another book. If you want easy access to that information, then you might want to mess with a Diablo character trainer just to max out his magic and start duping spellbooks.
Well the data is available in Jarulf's guide (like the chain lightning data above ;)). It's quite impressive actually, so getting the calculations isn't that hard.
The problem is that some spells improve their damage when you upgrade it, but most depend much more on magic and the character level. So a fireball will vary in damage depending on the spell level and character level, while a firebolt varies depending on magic only.

I have no idea what to do here. We don't have anything on this in the wiki. There's no info on any skills there yet, but it's just not possible to display the data in neat tables like in D2. Spells don't just depend on skill levels but also character level and sometimes magic as well, so a data table doesn't work. Should we just create a table that lists the damage calculation and some other key numbers like (in this case) bolts, range etc?
This is from Jarulf's guide, and I'll basically be using that for the information needed for the articles.
Type: lightning
Min. Damage: 4
Max. Damage: 4 + 2·clvl
Real Damage: Rnd[clvl] + Rnd[2] + 2
Bolts: 1 + numbers of monsters in range
Range: 2 + slvl (max 18)
Speed: 32
Duration: ([slvl/2] + 6)/20 seconds
Blockable: No

Also added a bunch of more links to fill out the dead space, just some convenient links for what I think are some more popular pages.
Adding +30 spells there won't work though. Perhaps I should make that box tabbed so you can cycle through whatever you want to peruse...
