So to put it simply, if you had a character with 400% bonus damage and you equipped a single para gem you would gain 5.0 + 2.0 x (4) = 28 damage. However that 5.0 damage gained is only from the first para gem. Each additional para gem will only yield 2.0 damage total where the first gives 7.0 total. To calculate this just simply multiply Z by the total amount of para gems equipped using the same formula so it becomes 5.0 + (2.0 x 4)) x (4) = 52 damage.
Considering the damage gained is based off of bonus damage it's worth mentioning when you add para gems, you take away from your primary stat total which in turn reduces the total amount of damage gained. So the more para gems you have, the less and less damage you gain from them.
