This is also not how it works. I'll explain using equations.
There are different tiers of resistance call them
n.
The lowest tier is 0, which means not resisted. The highest tier is 4.
Damage from a resisted spell is calculated as follows:
(Modified Damage) / (2 ^
n).
For example, if the OP's spell has a Modified Damage of 137, and it was resisted at tier 1:
137 / (2 ^ 1) = 137/2 = 68.5 damage
At tier 4 resist it would be:
137 / (2 ^ 4) = 137 / 16 = 8.6 damage
