Got some numbers for you, based on the test I just performed again.

Test 1:

Setup: Weapon: Malignance Magick: 1521 (Total) (243 Base) Augments: Bloodlust + Autonomy

Test Creature: Female Undead outside Gran Soren

Total Damage Dealt to Foes Before AoD Shockwave: 5624266 Total Damage Dealt to Foes After AoD Shockwave: 5624394 5624394 - 5624266 = 128

Test 2:

Setup: Weapon: Malignance Magick: 1825 (Total) (243 Base) Augments: Bloodlust + Autonomy + Acuity

Test Creature: Female Undead outside Gran Soren

Damage per point of Magick: 128 / 1521 = 0.084155161078238

Expected Damage based on 20% Magick Increase: ​​​1825 * 0.084155161078238 = 154 (153.5831689677844 exact)

Test Strike 1: Total Damage Dealt to Foes Before AoD Shockwave: 5624394 Total Damage Dealt to Foes After AoD Shockwave: 5624555 5624555 - 5624394 = 161

Test Strike 2: Total Damage Dealt to Foes Before AoD Shockwave: 5624555 Total Damage Dealt to Foes After AoD Shockwave: 5624715 5624715 - 5624555 = 160

Based on the above, the numbers quite clearly show a correlation between shockwave damage and the warrior's magick stat within an expected margin of error (the magick defense of the zombie).

Feel free to verify these results. I've been able to use AoD offensively on ranged enemies in my playthrough by boosting damage further with an appropriate elemental weapon and Demon Periapts.
