Variance is a percentage range by which the result of the calculation is modified by. I'm not exactly sure where this multiplication is, but I assume it's before elemental affinities.

Anyway, if a skill has a 20 variance, and the result from the initial calculation was (to make things easy) 100, variance would modify the result to be anywhere between 80 and 120.

Does that make any sense?
