Seems only the direct hit is pure dark :


 * vs Sulfur Saurian (DEF 180, MDEF 90) 25,900 direct hit, 14,000 explosion (difference is 11,900)
 * vs Saurian (DEF 130, MDEF 60) 23,000 direct hit, 14,000 explosion (difference 9,000)
 * vs Undead (DEF 104, MDEF 95, 70% dark resist) 14,000 direct hit, 11,000 explosion only (difference ~3000)

Since a direct hit includes the explosion damage I've taken the difference as the "bolt damage" - some notes:


 * Undead bolt damage matches expectations from a 70% dark resist compared to Sulfur Saurian
 * Undead explosion damage isn't reduced as much
 * Damage for Saurian and Sulfur Saurian seem wrong way round based on wiki figures for DEF/MDEF .. dunno - repeated the tests many times..
 * Damage difference for Saurian/Sulfur is nearly 2000 - much more than the simple differences in defense - something else is happening here?


 * Concluded that intial damage is pure dark, blast damage isn't (or only partial dark) .. there's a possibility that the blast damage is actually physical ! It's already been found it damages golems.
