Obviously we all know tooltips can be wrong. So who knows. You could be right too so it's definitely worth a look.
It's been tested using various means and confirmed that the melee combo, when Enchanted, is considered Magical for the purposes of Embolden. You can test just by using your combo on a dummy, getting their damage numbers then doing it again with Embolden. Repeat to satisfaction. A new development is that it appears Fleche & Contre are considered Piercing physical damage and are NOT affected by Embolden.
