Actually, this is entirely reasonable, and if I'm not mistaken, stock.
It means that higher level casters add 2 to the victim's strength
instead of one.
(level > 18) evaluates to 1 (if caster's level is greater than 18) or
0 (if caster's level is less than or equal to 18).
Alternately, you could write: 1 + (level > 18) ? 1 : 0;
but why? :P
I actually use this quite a bit in my own spells :)
