Explanations about the formulas:

- The general formula for calculating the damage looks like this:
Damage = Damage*(1+0.05*Int)*(1+0.15*Int/7)*(1+0.01*(Destruction+Items))

-> Damage*(1+0.05*Int) - that is the bonus for each point in intellect (+5%)
-> (1+0.15*Int/7) - that is the bonus of 15% for every 7 points of intellect
-> (1+0.01*(Destruction+Items)) - that is the additional bonus from the destruction skill and any item that affects spell damage (like +% to fire spells, +% spell damage, etc.)
