Weapon and Spell Damage Determination

[Allanius2]

Is there a formula that anyone knows for how damage is determined from weapons and spells? I would assume that the weapon or spell's attack power and the character's skill with the weapon/spell type are used in these calculations.

Ok, well I notice that now you’re using the word “spell”, your spell abilities are determined using Spell Damage not Weapon Damage so maybe you were checking the values on your spell abilities rather than weapon abilities?

No. I'm trying to see if there's a formula used to determine damage results for both weapons and spells.
** Also, how critical hits are determined.

Good question. Not only once I´ve got myself wondering about it. So, anyone can jump in and give an answer?
