Finally after All of This time I have Located the building blocks of Dark Wave's formula!
I found this in a stupidly simple manner, I breakpointed on the Command Used in the character information in battle and followed it until I came across the answer. It turned out to be not very complicated at all. Let's hope Jump and Focus are as simple...
The two stats that are taken into account are the Physical Attack Multiplier - 001B and Physical Attack Base -
The formula appears to be Physical Attack Multiplier x Physical Attack Base - 25%/50%/75% = Dark Wave's Damage
From the Bab-il Docs here's how to change the formula of Dark Wave to use what you please...
I feared at first that I was just changing the ordinary damage calculation formula, but as this picture would attest the damage formula stayed put.
An asterisk (*) before a description for the data indicates that only records
for characters have or use that type of data (equipment is a good example of
this). Two asterisks (**) before a description for the data indicate that only
monsters have or use that type of data (creature type data, for example).
Three asterisks (***) after a description of the data indicates that the
reader is requested to refer to the monster data document for a more complete
description (again, the creature type data is a good example).

In RAM (LoRom/HiRom) at...
0x03E71B - BD 1B 20 - (LDA 7E201B) - Looks at the value in 201B - Physical Attack Multiplier
0x03E730 - BD 1D 20 - (LDA 7E201D) - Looks at the value in 201D - Physical Attack Base
In ROM at...
0x1E91B - BD 1B 20 - (LDA 7E201B) - Looks at the value in 201B - Physical Attack Multiplier
0x1E930 - BD 1D 20 - (LDA 7E201D) - Looks at the value in 201D - Physical Attack Base
For instance say I wanted to change the Dark Wave into an attack that looked not purely at Physical attributes but instead looked at Wisdom and the Physical Attack Base to deal damage, that way it would remain useful as the Dark Knight continues to increase in level and should they wish for the Paladin to keep it they could allow him to use some Wisdom boosting equipment to keep the attack relevant.
So Chillyfeez looks like you can get your Gil Toss after all! To change and alter the power of Dark Wave is just a matter of knowing the stats and equipment pools of your Dark Wave recipient!
:edit:Fixed a Glaring issue with my addressing (I left the 7 from the initial LoRom/HiRom location)
