 * If I am using a magic sword, or "permanently enchanted sword" as wiki calls it. Example : Eden's Warden. Does the wielder's core Magick matters? 


 * No (if you are using physical attacks) - exceptions are Mystick Knight spells like Great Cannon .. clue if the skill you are using can't be silenced then it's not using your core magick (just the weapon's magick)


 * Many said that "spend some level on Sorcerer" to increase the Arisen's core Magick so that when equipping "permanently enchanted weapons" the MATK can pass the boss's MDEF. What are your thoughts upon this?


 * (See answer above) - because of this unfortunately Magick is actually useless for melee attacks- if you want to switch to Mystick Knight or Magick Archer later then some magick is good.
 * This is actually fairly new information to a lot of people - for a long time people though the above was true - but isn't true.

For context some proof is linked in the article see https://steamcommunity.com/app/367500/discussions/0/405691147603474565/ "The stats for magic enchanted weapons are incredibly misleading " ... the game doesn't help because it totally gives the impression that the combined total of core magick and weapon magick is used - and never mentions it isn't.

''Magic Shortbows and Longbows ( Dragon's Ire & Dragon's Glaze ) has very low Magick on their own. If the wielder's core magick is not counted.. Doesnt that mean their MATK is actually pretty pointless? O.o  ''

mmh - actually I'm 100% not sure if the same rules apply to bows as it does to swords/hammers/longswords/daggers .. but assuming it does - the numbers aren't that bad - unupgraded weapons should still have enough power to hurt ogre/drake/cyclops even Grigori, for something like the Ur-Dragon (MDEF ~380) the magic might not have any effect until gold dragonforged, and Death (MDEF ~666) would be untouched..

This could be tested eg Dragon's Blink (df Str 621) vs Dragon's Glaze (df Str 620, Mag 341) should do the same damage against anything with MDEF over 350 (Wyvern, Wyrm, Death, Ur) if the theory is correct..
