    For now I'll take your word for it because you say that you've tested it.

    You say that my magical damage isn't magical because it's not a spell but the way I see it, it seems like a spell (it's elemental and uses MP and inteligence).
    Many things in the game don't work as intended right now (accuracy or magical attacks that are not magical) things like that might change in the next patch or the one after that, thats why my concerns remain.

    I guess that we will have to wait and see (and hope).

    I was driven to test because just like you, I was curious about INT being important for PGL and it getting elemental stances. What I've noticed is INT is to PGL like MND is to GLA. They increase the AA damage, but it doesn't help to dig for a deep meaning into why it does this other than to provide further incentive for players to increase that very stat - making each class that much more unique.

    It makes it so by increasing those stats, you are directly effecting your DPS and are not torn because you didn't give to STR instead. At the same time, due to having increased the attribute in question you have made the class proficient at what that attribute governs.

    Basically, PGLs have higher proficiency with elemental attack spells because they already are so in tune with using the elements for their stances. GLAs have higher healing magic potency to act as pseudo-PLDs. MRDs have higher HP and defense as well as enhancing magic to act like offensive tanks and/or meat shields. List goes on.

    I've concluded that imbuing fists with elements does not count as elemental attack magic. At the same time, I also believe that elemental potency works separately from attack magic potency in that it doesn't effect only magic, but everything n regards to the use of that element. That second point I am yet to prove though.
