With Holy Focused Bolt you are scaling your Magick damage per bolt to 40% of total Magick. If this 40% lies below Death's effective M.Defense (666 MDEF x 40% Holy resistance =1110) it's just six times zero damage. You'd need above 2775 Magick to deal damage with HFB.

Idk who added this bit to the article, but his total Magick must have been godlike ;) Some Demon's Periapts stacked I suppose.

BTW Enchanting staff with Fire has slightly better scaling. I suppose it may be even better with no enchantments as you'd bypass 40% resistance (vs additional 388 Magick tops from enchantment).
