A wiki page also details those [Base Value Formulas](https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/Base-Value-Formulas) if you're not comfortable looking at the code. In the case of our Greater Healing spell, we see that the value for Formula in Slot 1 is 7 (formula1 field in your database). Referencing the source, we find that the spell calc is Base Value + User Level * Formula. If we assume that we are a level 20 Cleric, casting the Greater Healing spell: 140 + 20 * 7 = 280. This of course assumes that there are no focus effects being taken into consideration. If we are instead a level 29 Druid, we would hit the spell's max value: 140 + 29 * 7 = 343--which is greater than the 300 hit point Max Value. As a result, the Druid would only heal 300 hit points using this spell. @@ -121,7 +123,7 @@ Slot 4: SE_WIS - 25
