The current record

Lightning Shield

Nature school

Surrounds the caster with $n balls of lightning that have $h% chance of striking melee or ranged attackers for 4 damage. Each time the lightning shield strikes, a ball of lightning dissipates. Thus, the shield expires after 10 min. or after it has struck $n times.

$h% chance of inflicting 4 Nature damage on hit.

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.
