I understand that my damage is a combination of various parameters such as spell damage, penetration, critcal rate etc ....

But i m only wondering how it varies according to my manapool all the other parameters being fixed, ie if all other things are equal.

I have like 32500 mana and around 21 000 hp, i can easily swap 1000 or even 2000 hp toward mana.

Assuming i transfert 1000, this is about 1/32 of my current manapool. Will i get roughly 3% more damage or more ?

I prefer to have quite some hps to solo World Bosses or group delves.

    It is combination of magicka and spell dmg. Long story short, if you have 2k spell dmg, and 32.5 k magicka, it is equivalent to 5.1k spell dmg, or 43.5k magicka, so adding 2k magicka will higher your damage by ~5% from your abilities that scale from those parameters (not enchantments or proc sets, yes light attacks and skills)

    (100 spell dmg = 1050 max magicka)

    You can buff your spell damage but not your mana pool so that is why spell damage is better for damage than mag. Mag gives a sustain untill you run out of it for first time, it makes you last longer. You can transfer some mana to spell damage and transfer hp to mana.

    If the only variable is your mag yes. Though some skills rely only on max resource for damage. If you want to do a deep dive. Uesp has the formulas for all the skills morphs in the game. I don't know how up to date but it's there.

    Short answer, yes as you increase or decrease Magic, your damage goes up and down in a directly proportional amount.

    However, there is a lot to the Damage Equation....
