What is the conversion factor for Richter to dBm? :)

As a guy with degrees in geology and EE. I really should know this...:)
Especially since both are log scales..
The problem is that Richter is log magnitude displacement on a
particular kind of seismometer (which is sort of a low pass filter) and
dBm is log power. However, there should be some sort of scale factor
that converts it.
I think it's energy goes as amplitude^1.5. there's also a scale factor
for how far the seismograph is from the epicenter.
