Magic vs Elemental Damage
Maligorn
Windborne
So this is something that's always kind of went over my head. What's the difference between magic-sourced and fire/cold/electricity-sourced damage? Is there any?
Does the game's math calculate magic damage and elemental damage buffs when you do an elemental attack (e.g. will you have a stronger point cudgel lightningbugs if you have 10 magic damage buff and 10 electricity buff...or would it be the same damage if you just had the 10 electricity damage buff).
If the former is the case, do any other damage types factor in magic buff/dmp? The only ones besides the elemental trio I could imagine would be divinus/excorable.

Source != Type. If it's Magic source, it's buffed by stuff that buffs magic source damage (off the top of my head, only that one artifact whose name escapes me). If it's magic type, it's buffed by stuff that buffs magic type damage (curios).
EDIT: The artifact is the magical enhancement rune, unless I misremember.

Damage source and damage types are completely different.Magical sourced means that INT affects it, and has nothing to do with magical type damage, which is the flavor of damage and is affected by DMP.It's less confusing if you think about warriors. Who use physical sourced damage (as opposed to magical source) which is strictly STR based. If they add weapon runes, it doesn't matter what their magic DMP is, unless they're using a magic damage rune.For druid cudgel using lightningbugs, the only DMP type that matters is electricity because it is an electric type attack. Having a higher int means higher damage because it is magic sourced (also the + to magic sourced artie would affect it too).~--------------**--------------~Click here for the full version of Zyphora and Turnus by the amazing Feyrll.The original picture of Turnus is still viewable here, again by Feyrll.8
