The current record

Blizzard

Rank 1 · Frost school

Ice shards pelt the target area doing ${$1279976m1*$d*$<frostdamage>} Frost damage over 8 sec.

$1279976s1 Frost damage every 1 $lsecond:seconds;.

The highlighted formula above is computed by the game client from spell power, level and talents. The client does not store the final number, so we show the template verbatim rather than invent a value.
