Damage and healing read like the game's tooltip before it adds your stats: the flat amount from the skill tables and the share of your Attack on top (“51 (+43% Attack)”).
Damage by level
Flat amounts and the share of Attack from SkillEffect (EffectValueList) and its level table. The game's tooltip adds your Attack to the flat part, so the damage you see in game depends on your gear. Levels above 10 are greyed: points do not buy them.

Multi-hit: the effect lists its hits per use (EffectValueList[4]) and the text's placeholder is a sum (SkillUIMinDmgSum), so the tooltip's number is hits × each hit.
PvP set: the same table row carries a second set of numbers, lower for most skills. The files do not name it; patch notes tune a skill's PvE and PvP damage separately, so we read it as the values used against players.
What a point buys
Our calculation from the skill tables: the flat part a level adds, divided by the points that level costs (SkillAcquireData).
From level 1 to 10, Bittercold Wind's flat damage goes from 1,666 to 12,215 per use (+10,549) for 21 skill points: 502.3 damage per point. The share of Attack stays at 232.25% at every level, so levels add only the flat part.
One more level past 10 (a Daevanion node or a gear effect) adds 1,547 flat damage per use.
Formula: (flat at level 10 − flat at level 1) × 7 hits ÷ points for levels 2–10. A min–max range counts at its midpoint; critical hits, defense and damage boosts are left out.

From DaevanionNode: skill nodes add levels to one skill. The path cost counts every node on the cheapest way there from the board's start (our calculation, as in the planner).
Gear: soul-binding skill effects
Guard, Greatsword, Longsword, Dagger, Bow, Spellbook… (1,313 items): soul binding draws up to 3 skill effects, each landing with 20%; a landed effect picks Bittercold Wind 833 times in 10,000 and adds +1 level.
