Got bars (#)? You have at least 0, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200.

6/8# is half max
8/10# is half max

The later #s account for more spellpower than the early ones. #### is 25, for instance. Think log scale.

Okay, that doesn't explain 100% conjure flame when its less than half though.

The hashes aren't equal. From the learndb:

Yes, this makes the spellpower bars incomprehensible without spoilers. Spellpower should just be displayed as a number in all modes imo. Conjure flame doesn't show as 100% power in your example btw, there are two hashes missing.

For all I know, http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Spellpower is still accurate. It should answer all your questions.

I was going off that until playing around in wizard mode I saw it shows exact spellpower; which means the display of spellpower is terribly inaccurate if the wiz mode is indeed correct.

The formula given in there if correct would reflect the wizard mode is indeed the real spell power. Which begs to question why the UI is so inaccurate.

* wild magic
* augmentation

6.5+12. 18.5

*2.4

49.2 spellpower. So why is it showing maxed under conjure flame and over half on fireball.

Thanks; that makes way more sense; so 6/8 is half power; lol.

Fireball max power is 200. Conjure flame max power is 100. Count the number of #s; they should be equal, because they're both conj/fire. Dots mean that your spellpower for that particular spell is not maxed out.
