Does the magic skill affect elemental weapon damage?

Title.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the sorcery behind Reddit's search engine is an enigma to me.

Thanks!

As far as I know, Magic only affects spell damage. Weapons are only affected by Strength. However, Bow of the Clever and Scepter of the Pious are affected by Magic instead of Strength.

P.S. I ditched Reddit's search because it's not very good at returning results, if it works for me at all. I now use Google's site search (site:reddit.com/r/FFXV [keyword]).

I have been looking for sources on the Magic stat affecting the Scepter and the Bow, but have found none. My own (limited) testing has shown that the Magic stat doesn't affect the Scepter or the Bow.

But I would love to be wrong, because I love Spells, the Scepter, and the Bow. Someone please tell me there is a threshold or something that I need to hit before the Magic stat starts affecting those weapon's damage.

Magic and Royal Arms not my specialty, so I pulled that info from the official guide. I'll check in-game later and get back to you. :-)
