Back a few months, people tried to use lower rank spells to determine whether there was a "cap" of +spell damage. The iniitial results seemed to indicate there was. However as people have accumulated more spell damage gear (the warlock forums have lists for builds with 600+ spell damage) further testing showed that there appeared to be no cap. However the effectiveness of spell damage on lower level spells seemed to be reduced sharply. Rank 1 Shadowbolt was getting about 15% of the spell damage bonus instead of the minimum 43% it should have been getting.
