Assume Shadowform, increasing your Shadow damage by 10%, reducing the Mana cost of all Shadow spells by $m4%, increasing the critical strike damage bonus of your Shadow spells by $m5%, and reducing Physical damage taken by you by 15%. However, you may not cast healing spells while in this form.

Shadow damage you deal increased by 10%. Mana cost of all Shadow spells reduced by 50%. Critical strike damage bonus of Shadow spells increased by $m5%. Physical damage you take reduced by 15%. You may not cast healing spells.

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.
