Description
Selects a target within 20m and deals 1,038 (+151.8% Attack) Earth damage to up to 4 enemies within 4m of the target. Reduces enemy PvE Damage Tolerance by 5%, PvP Damage Tolerance by 2.5%, and deals 1,297 (+189.75% Attack) Damage over Time every 1s for 10s. 10 Stagger Gauge Damage
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 and healing by level
Flat amounts and the share of Attack from SkillEffect (EffectValueList) and its level table; damage over time from SkillAbnormalEffect. 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.

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, Chain of Torment's flat damage goes from 138 to 1,038 per use (+900) for 21 skill points: 42.9 damage per point. The share of Attack stays at 151.8% at every level, so levels add only the flat part.
One more level past 10 (a Daevanion node or a gear effect) adds 134 flat damage per use.
Formula: (flat at level 10 − flat at level 1) ÷ points for levels 2–10. A min–max range counts at its midpoint; critical hits, defense and damage boosts are left out.

SpecializedSkillParts: options that open as the skill levels up; the skill level that unlocks each is shown.
Raising Chain of Torment above level 10
Points buy levels 1–10. Daevanion skill nodes and the skill effects soul binding adds to gear raise it further, up to level 40.
Daevanion nodes: +4 levels → level 14
| Board | Opens at | Node cost | Cheapest path from the start | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nezekan | level 12 | 3 points | 9 points | +1 level |
| Zikel | level 20 | 3 points | 12 points | +1 level |
| Vaizel | level 30 | 3 points | 6 points | +1 level |
| Triniel | level 40 | 3 points | 5 points | +1 level |
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 Chain of Torment 833 times in 10,000 and adds +1 level.
Chance one item gets it: 4.92% — 1 − (1 − 20% × 8.33%)3, our calculation, assuming the draws are independent.

ItemEquipSubstatSkill: each arcana grade draws a fixed number of skill effects; an effect adds +1 level and +1 per enhancement step, up to +4. Chance at least one draw picks Chain of Torment: our calculation, independent draws.
