Damage

Shown for stock Mage recruit, Water Wooden Staff at level 5 (level cap). Pick your physical and magic units in the sidebar.
Expected per cast 105 magic per target
= MAtk 88.5 x 100% x 1.082 crit x 1.1 dmg bonus
Versus benchmark 19.5% of Acid Slogel HP
Damage per energy 105.3 per energy at 1 target, 316 at 3 targets (1 energy).
True 9.6/energy once you count the 10 energy spent summoning the Bubbling it consumes - the 1-energy face cost hides that.
Damage per second 5.7 per second at 1 target, 17 at 3 targets (from the 20 s cooldown)
Versus median 1x the median magic active per cast
This skill consumes a summoned Bubbling (5 energy each), so its true energy cost, and thus effective DPE, is lower than the 1-energy face value.
Numbers are before target resistance (damage x 100 / (100 + R); most monsters have 0, armored ones up to 60 for a 37.5% cut) and before hit chance, dodge and guard. Combat difficulty does not change your own damage.
