This sounds like you're applying a 3.5e metamagic to the 5e sheet? It may not be the best choice of character sheet, to be honest. A PF or 3.5 sheet might have better support for that kind of thing, since it's a core rule in those editions. Those sheets tend to have more damage modifier fields since the 3.5's have much more complex math. Specifically for this case though, a global modifier will not work. It's in a separate property to the damage of the spell and there's no way for it to operate on the damage roll. The easiest way is probably just adding a Query to the damage field in the Attacks & Spellcasting section. For example, a spell that does 8d6: floor(8d6*[[?{Empower spell?|No,1]]|Yes,1.5]][Empowered]})
