All damage is modified by:

(damage + 2d6oe) - (protection + 2d6oe)

The protection value is determined by the armour piercing, normal or armour negating status of the weapon. Spell damage is treated in the same way.

Resistances to certain types of damage are applied after this calculation I believe.

thnx again graeme . how is it with armor negating ?
damage + 2d6 oe - 2d6 oe ?
or simply damage + 2d6 oe - 0 ?

As I said, the protection value is modified by whether the damage is armour negating. The dice rolls are not.

Flare increses dmg by 2. Most fire spells do. Lightning doesn't.

thnx i assume you mean linear +2 dmg per level above spell requirements .

so how does lighning damage increase ?
because ingame description of the spell lighning bolt says the following :

damage 14+ ( armor negating )

so does damage increase by 1 per level above requirements or should i understand your answer that it stays constant at 14 no matter how high your air level is ?
because most air spells have this pattern , thunder strike e.g. has it too .
