Yeah it pretty much seems like that. But in honesty it's a pretty easy thing to miss.
It is very noticeable from our end though because usually most of a skills damage comes from max magicka (usually). Max magicka also being the sole reason that you inherently get stronger as you level up. Unless you're a stamina player xD.
Otherwise man have I been like a nerd in a library, the data I've pulled up is nuts, ok you probably already knew this, but for example: did you know that the shield from healing ward actually scales off spell damage as well as max magicka?
That took me by surprise.
An interesting find, but I'm afraid it will not change anything. There have been several dedicated threads pointing out how underperforming WoE is, so if there had been any interest from the developers, then someone must have already looked into it.
But on the contrary, developers insist that WoE is a useful skill, thus buffing the Maelstrom Destro staff (multiple times?) but not changing the real problem: WoE's low damage.

I had to go back and check my math because of your comment, I embarrassingly enough found an error with my math. the spell damage coefficient is actually itself only 10% of what I listed it as.
Yeah so pretty much this is a, useless skill. Not even 50% of the damage liquid lightning does -.-
Sorry for wasting your time folks.

I'm glad someone is at least talking about how it needs to be changed. It's utterly sad how weak the skill is right now. People are probably still having nightmares about getting blown up the purge bug, but that doesn't mean the ability should be worthless. I'm actually of the opinion that the purge bug should be reimplemented to give this skill a strong purpose and to help deal with huge groups.
