Yep. That's how I think it works.

The damage boost when buffing a sorc staff from a similarly levelled sorcerer was very small, but totally consistent - it's definitely happening - but in my case only about 1%.

I'm trying to get a handle on the numbers - I expected more 10% or whatever. (for example a single Silverwheat Paste gives a damage boost an order of magnitude greater compared to the difference between affinity and boon..)

I think the affinity may be adding a percentage of the casters magic to the recipient, whereas something like a periapt multiplies the recipients magic (by a percentage eg x1.1). If so the boost from affinity should be relatively greater when cast on low magic characters (I need to test that).
