You clutch the ball o' fire in your hands, letting the heat infuse your body, warming you body and soul. You gain 61 HP and 34 PP.

HP: 1205/1205; PP: 43/679 [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 20:38, 24 June 2012 (PDT)

Also, since I'm nice, I chucked one at a [[flying polyp]]: You fling the ball o' fire at the flying polyp, roasting them for 424 damage!

And a second one: You fling the ball o' fire at the flying polyp, roasting them for 122 damage!

Of course, it was getting damaged from other sources (I had 4 sources of strikeback, and a [[reformed arsonist]], ''and'' [[judo kid gloves]].  Still, should help with figuring the percents more than level 1 foes. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 20:43, 24 June 2012 (PDT)

You clutch the ball o' fire in your hands, letting the heat infuse your body, warming you body and soul. You gain 46 HP and 36 PP.
HP: 868/868
PP: 38/706

According to this and Cristiona's data, it seems to be 0.05*MaxHP and 0.05*MaxPP, but there seems to be a small ± number assigned to it.

Also, it'll need to be checked how much does it heal on someone with less than 20 on each stat to see if there's a fixed minimum amount. [[User:Patojonas|Patojonas]] 07:31, 2 July 2012 (PDT)

==Damage==
Since [[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro]] donated a few for my alts to play with here's some data on the damage % without strike back screwing it up (ratio=1-hit2/hit1 formula):

:hit1 - hit2 - damage ratio
*1064 - 337 - 1-337/1064=0.683 <span style="color:#ff0000;">(I recall that there were 11 points of strikeback between the hits on this one, but the result would be above .65 either way)</span>
*1258 - 439 - 1-439/1258=0.651
*1270 - 487 - 1-487/1270=0.617
*1107 - 414 - 1-414/1107=0.626
*0907 - 354 - 1-354/907=0.609

Based on this damage seems to range from 60% to 70% of the foe's remaining HP, a few more uses needed to check the limits. [[User:Patojonas|Patojonas]] 17:46, 4 July 2012 (PDT)

<span style="color:#ff0000;">Based on the previous statement I'm a fool. Here's why:</span>

Considering a foe with 10000HP and no resistances: 

{| cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="1" align="left" style="text-align:center"
! % for 1st and 2nd hit !! hit1 damage !! hit2 damage !! 1-hit2/hit1 result
|-
| 60% on both || 6000 || 2400 || .6000
|-
| 70% on both || 7000 || 2100 || .7000

The data [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] provided  is contaminated with strikebacks according to herself and since the values are small enough for it to influence significantly the results I won't consider them (sorry). 

So far the data ranges from 0.609 to .683, fitting the 65%±2.5% and 65%±2%, meaning more data is needed. [[User:Patojonas|Patojonas]] 07:35, 5 July 2012 (PDT)

Some more data on this:

:hit1 - hit2 - damage ratio
*1219 - 528 - .5668
*1330 - 567 - .5736
*1239 - 528 - .5738
*1239 - 507 - .5907
*1271 - 494 - .6113
*1076 - 416 - .6133
*1355 - 517 - .6184
*1067 - 398 - .6269
*1361 - 501 - .6318
*1395 - 513 - .6322
*1321 - 476 - .6396
*1447 - 521 - .6399
*1185 - 420 - .6455
*1094 - 385 - .6480
*1254 - 432 - .6555
*1441 - 496 - .6557
*0779 - 268 - .6559
*1140 - 392 - .6561
*1150 - 390 - .6608
*1447 - 489 - .6620
*1373 - 458 - .6664
*1300 - 427 - .6715
*1384 - 441 - .6813  (foe fumbled for 79 points between hits, if 2nd hit were 65% it'd be .6445)
*1362 - 419 - .6923  (foe fumbled for 80 points between hits, if 2nd hit were 65% it'd be .6542)

Giving an average of ~0.6316 (not considering those last 2 entries), very close to the middle point of what one would get with 60% and 70% as limits, {{#expr: (0.7428+0.5333)/2 round 4}}.

This doesn't explain the values obtained for those low HP foes in the beginning of the page very well (could be an after effect of rounding, or the hp values considered are incorrect), but until a foe with an high (100+) fixed amount of HP is found and properly spaded this is the best I can do.

Looks like there's no ± factor at all, seems to just be round(0.05*MaxHP)HP and round(0.05*MaxPP)PP. Only thing left to check is if there's a minimum amount. [[User:Patojonas|Patojonas]] 10:23, 5 July 2012 (PDT)

Therefore, no minimum. [[User:Patojonas|Patojonas]] 05:31, 12 July 2012 (PDT)
