Well I finally finished reverse engineering the firebolt formula. it is accurate to within 2% worst case.
I used over 120 data points ranging from zero to 1030 ability, 1 to 25 skill, and 10 to 450 focus

Firebolt Damage = 5.5 + Skill Piece * (Focus piece + Ability piece)

Skill Piece = (Skill Slope* (Skill) + Skill Intercept)
Skill Piece = (6* (Skill) + 11)

Focus piece = Focus Slope*(Sqrt(Focus)-Sqrt(10))
Focus piece = .1054*(Sqrt(Focus)-Sqrt(10))

Abiilty piece = Ability Slope*Sqrt(Ability)+Ability Intercept
Abiilty piece = .02793*Sqrt(Ability)+1

It is similar to the auto damage formula I did a while ago.
The error comes in because the skill level to damage formula is actually a saw tooth which I replaced with a single slope average.

I assume other skills use the same formula with different constants.

Take aways. Focus and ability are square root functions so the return on investment gets smaller.

Whaaaaa?.... Are you trying to divide by zero? -.-

Ok. I posted this question in mage forums Papi but it was deleted. According to your formula, Should I use a Void Grim of Frost book (+300 ice magic, +175 Focus) or a Shadow Grim of flame book (+200 fire magic, +150 Focus) to generally hit the most damaging fire bolts over time?

Sub in your numbers and figure it out

There is no division anywhere!?!

Papi, you can't divide by zero

A quick look guessing at your level and stats get the fire book.

No! Your asking the wrong question...Yes you should be using shards .

Adding this to wiki like a bat out of hell before this post disappears!

Ok I was having trouble figuring out what you are doing papi but it makes sense now. Took me like 3 seconds to figure out so i would assume ppl might have trouble understanding what's going on. Maybe we could make it easier to understand, I'll tweak it a bit on the wiki.

Here isy edited version, mabye it will be easier for some to follow and know what they need to do.

Firebolt Damage = 5.5 + X* (Y + Z)

X = (6* (Skill) + 11)
Y = .1054*(Sqrt(Focus)-Sqrt(10))
Z = .02793*Sqrt(Ability)+1

where X is a skill piece. X can be seen more generally as: Skill Piece = (Skill Slope* (Skill) + Skill Intercept)
where Y is a focus piece. Y can be seen more generally as: Focus piece = Focus Slope*(Sqrt(Focus)-Sqrt(10))
where Z is an ability piece. Z can be seen more generally as: Abiilty piece = Ability Slope*Sqrt(Ability)+Ability Intercept
