Let's take a look at some numbers:

(( enhancing_magic_skill / 20 ) + 5 ) * (1 + weather_modifier + date_modifier) |
So picking up SCH, we get a B+ (256 @ 75) so SCH will be cranking out...
256/20+5 = 17.8 or 17 damage/hit.
Rolling Thunder... If it's working off of Enhancing Magic skill, then we'll be dealing with the SMN/WHMs gimped /WHM skill or 105 skill for
(SQRT(105) - 1) = 9.2 damage/hit.
Either way,
leagues better than what they could do before and in either case an excellent damage tool especially in a party of one handers (especially thieves and ninja).
