Arcane Might?

I don't understand how this prodigy works.

What does a 50% magic modifier to your weapon do? Does it improve the melee damage of the staff or the elemental damage modifier or what?

That doesn't actually help me. What I don't understand is what the prodigy is saying, I do understand how math works… thus is it adding an additional 50% of your magic stat to your damage? If so, exactly where does fit in? What if your weapon uses strength, does this add to that or is it just wasted?

More so, does it only affect weapon damage?

If it's a staff, 80% Mag -> 130% Mag
If it's a greatsword, 120% Str -> 120% Str + 50% Mag

Simple enough.

It affects weapon base damage, which means talents like Channel Staff or egos like Projection (I think, didn't test) benefit from it.

And everything that uses weapon damage, yes.
