Class skill heals (such as breath of life) do scale off spell damage AND max magicka. Resto staff heals DO NOT scale off spell damage. These only scale off max magicka and weapon damage. I (possibly incorrectly) assumed you were a sorcerer healer because of the sets you were using and that's what I am. This is 100% correct. Some players may wonder how to increase spell damage stats, so here are some ways to help you improve. One, get to vet 16, all gold legendary gear, all legendary weapons, all gold spell power enchants in your will power jewelry, molag kena helm/shoulders 5pc Julianos etc. Look up any magicka sorc build.

Your Spell and Weapon Damage (also called Spell Power and Weapon Power) is used to determine the damage or healing power of your abilities.
Spell Damage
Spell Damage, along with Max Magicka, determines the damage and healing of abilities which use Magicka.
Weapon Damage
Weapon Damage, along with Max Stamina, determines the damage and healing of abilities which use Stamina.
Increase Your Spell / Weapon Damage
There are lots of ways you can increase your Spell and Weapon Damage.
Your Weapon
The weapon that you wield into a fight has the biggest impact on your Spell and Weapon Damage values. You’ll notice that all weapons of all types give a damage stat on them – this is both Spell and Weapon Damage and when you equip that weapon your character sheet will reflect this.
You can increase the damage given by your weapon by increasing its Level as you Level up and by increasing your weapons quality. A weapon comes in one of five quality types; increasing the quality of a weapon increases its stats equivalence to adding another Level.
White – Normal
Green – Fine (+1 Level Stats)
Blue – Superior (+2 Level Stats)
Purple – Epic (+3 Level Stats)
Gold – Legendary (+4 Level Stats)

ESO FAQ >> What Are Types Of Damage
- Flame, Frost, Shock Damage
- Bleed, Poison, Disease Damage
In ESO there are a number of different damage types with associated effects, strengths and weaknesses. You will often see these referenced in the tooltips of abilities. You will see references to Magic Damage, Physical Damage and more. This tells you which type of damage is being applied to the target. The type of damage is important to note, because it determines what stats mitigate its damage and which buffs will increase its damage.
All types of damage are mitigated by either Spell Resistance OR Armor (Physical Resistance).
The different damage types are also effected by various buffs and passives, not to mention Champion Points.
