:Damage = 60 * Level / 10 + 44 
:Damage = Damage * (265 - TargetSpr) / 8 
:Damage = Damage * 44 / 256 
:Damage = Damage * Boost / 100 
:Damage = Damage * (100 + SummonMagBonus) / 100 
:Damage = Damage * (900 - ElemDef) / 100:
Elemental Defense starts at 800 (0%), 900 nullifies damage and 1000 absorbs it. If an enemy is shown to be weak against an element, its Elemental Defense is below 800. If damage becomes negative (due to high Elemental Defense), the target is healed by that amount.
