The damage scales from both the user's stats and the equipped weapon's stats. Therefore, by equipping a STR-based weapon such as the Virge of Madness, your strength portion of the damage calculation goes wayyyy up.

The magick shield, incidentally, does similar magick and physical damage, though I don't believe anyone's figured out the exact proportion yet.
