The magick stat of the caster has no effect on the strength of the buff. It's a set amount (I don't remember what they are, it was a very long time ago) that is dependent on what type of buff is cast that then multiplies the recipient's magick stat.

The boost given by stat curative/tools is more significant because they scale the aggregate effect. In other words, you have magick damage x N(elemental buff) x Periapt/group curative, then the periapt not only multiplies the magick damage but the elemental buff, too.
