[General] How would I word this?

[Yugata]

So I made this spell for a hero where when the ability is active (Immolation), all of his attacks deal bonus magic damage equal to a percentage of the damage he dealt. So say he dealt 100 damage with an attack, the spell would deal an additional 10 spell damage at level 1 (10%), 20 spell damage at level 2 (20%), up to 50 spell damage at level 5 (50%). The problem is, how would I word this in tooltips without making it long and wordy?

This is the current tooltip that I am using, but it really doesn't make much sense to me.

Current Tooltip

The Gladiator arms his attacks with his determination, increasing their effectiveness. All attacks by the Gladiator deal increased damage.

Level 1 - 10% Damage
Level 2 - 20% Damage
Level 3 - 30% Damage
Level 4 - 40% Damage
Level 5 - 50% Damage

Target Type: Instant, Toggle
Damage Type: Magical
Cooldown: none
Mana Cost: 3/6/9/12/15

The trigger is here if anyone really needs it. It uses Bribe's DDS system.

"The gladiator's determination increases his damage dealt with 10% /20% /30% /40% /50%

wont get much shorter than that.

My only issue with that is that the spell deals a separate instance of damage that is magical. Personally, I think that is a very important detail to note since magic damage doesn't get reduced by armor, and since it's separate, it won't be included in critical attacks. Of course, I could just be overreacting.

I would make it like this: (If you want to add the percentages to the text, you can remove the level X: ..% thing.)

"The Gladiator's determination enhances his basic attacks, dealing an additional percentage of the physical damage as magic damage.

Level 1: 10%
Level 2: 20%
Level 3: 30%
Level 4: 40%
Level 5: 50%"

I like your idea. Just checked it out in WE/ingame, and it isn't overwhelming. You are a genius. Thank you guys for trying to help out.
