Neither of the two augments - Conservation (reduces stamina consumed when you perform a magick weapon skill) and Proficiency (Reduces stamina consumed when you perform a physical weapon skill) work when using magic archer bow skills. I tested them extensively.

This was very disappointing to me as I spent many many hours leveling up the sorcerer and warrior classes to learn this. I was hoping to create a build which could spam a huge amount of magic arrow skills and rarely ever run out of stamina. As it turns out the only way to do this is to level up as a strider for each of your actual "levels" as their stats are much better than the magic archer stat gains.

You can also use Endurance and Potential for an extra combined boost of 200 stamina. But even that is really not much of a boost later on.
