What Spellpower To Get On My Warlock?

I'm a cone-warlock.
I do Lightening & Evil damage (From my Celestial Pact and Utterdark Blast respectively).
What spell powers should I focus on for maximum damage? Because I feel like I do very bad damage at level 6. I mean, I know my Pact damage is Electric spell power & universal.
Is Evil just off of Light spell power?

And on that topic; does Universal stack with the other spell power types? Or is it a case of the game using whichever is bigger?

You're correct, you'll need Electric spellpower and Light spellpower. Note that equipment boosts like "Radiance" affect "light and alignment" spellpower, which includes Evil.

In most cases, Universal Spell Power stacks. As a general rule of thumb, if it's in an enhancement tree, it stacks. However, Potency (eg, on Pansophic Circlet) doesn't stack. If you have a Potency and a Magnetism item, the game will use whatever bonus is largest - that's typically Magnetism if the item levels are comparable because Potency scales a little slower. That being said, Potency is still useful for casting breadth, especially for a class like Wizard or Alchemist who has access to a lot of different elements

So I mostly want electric and radiance, then. Thank you :)

I really wish they'd add a 'Eldrich Dmage:' stat to the character sheet, so I could see how many dice of damage I do, what size they are, and what types of damage I do. All in one place.

For my static group I drew a Dragonmarked human Fey Warlock. Previously I have gotten a Warlock to level 8 once, I don't really understand Eldritch Blast mechanics.

I should be Sonic damage and Force Damage?

At level 8 I should have
2d6 Force Damage (Scales with Force (86))
4d4 Sonic Damage (Scales with Sonic(69))
+1 Pact Fey

((3.5x2)*1.86)=13 Ave (Min 8 Max 23) Force
((2.5x4)*1.69)+1=18 Ave (Min 8 Max 29) Sonic (Reflex Save)

Critical Chance - 5% (both force and Sonic at the moment) none, one or both is the option on each individual blast?
Critical Multiplier (mine are currently at zero) so I simply deal double damage?

Thanks for helping a Warlock Newb out.
