Good catch. I definitely noticed that it felt way too weak at lower ranks, but at higher ranks, I didn't even stop to think about it due to not really thinking about making the individual kicks weaker with more hits to balance the formula. Defnite thanks are in order for crunching the numbers like that!
While I don't personally feel it would make logical sense to actually weaken each hit per extra hit added, I don't suppose it's really worth using at lower levels so it's not like changing it to reflect the actual description would not be so bad. As well, if using Ice Point Greaves, each extra rank is basically +13 (+3 from the skill, +10 from the greaves) damage, which is better scaling than basically every other attack skill in the game anyways. (Outside of maybe laughably terrible scalers like Shinken. Seriously. Why are ranks 1-4 even a thing.)
Summary: Yes, change the skill to reflect the decription.
