demon periapts have 0 increase in tools. it's static magic attack

otherwise i would do 0 damage with mag 262 which is how i use them usually. equipping heaven's key AND 4 demon periapts is exact same damage.

it's more or less hit/miss that seems like different strength. if enemy is hit and stunned, then hit again while stun effect is in progress, damage will be noticeable bigger. but, damage is not mag dependent.

it's especially hard to notice this with tome since it is zillion hits. with daimon even more so. if all streams daimons leg, damage is minimal, but if he moves just a little and stucks his head into one of streams, damage will skyrocket

even easier to test this is testing with shattered earth tome.

mag 262 >> giant saurian at BBI start dies in 2.5 hits

mag 262+HK:773+4 demon periapts >> giant saurian dies in 2.5 hits with same last leftover

you must ignore result if tail was cut off as damage resistance changed, so it requires few tries. if mag mattered anything then it would break whole point as enabling non magic classes to cast spells. books would also be weaker at lower levels where i killed living armors at 30sh with books as easy as you say cake
