Question about spell damage/maximum magica

I always thought that spell damage scales off your max magica. So when you eat food it increases not only your max magic but your damage dealt by it. When u just ate some food I checked my stats and my max Magic went up but my spell damage stayed the same. How exactly does this work?

✭✭The spell damage stat is not increased - the tooltip damage of abilities is. Think of "spell damage" in your character screen as "spell power", and the damage dealt is then calculated from "spell power", maximum magicka and a bunch of strange coefficients.
So, food does affect your damage, in that the maximum magicka number goes into the calculation of each and every magicka consuming ability.0 -

Ohhh that makes sense! Thank you! I wish consoles had an option for damage numbers to pop up. Would make things so much easier!0 -
