It's obvious to me and to everybody that physical attacks (ranged EXCLUDED) have the attribute STRENGTH as their gauge for intensity of damage. But something's bugging me...

With monk, there's the ability called Elixir Field. With paladin, Holy Spirit. I know monk attacks and paladin attacks are backed by strength but... Those skills I mentioned look incredibly magicky... So are they also backed by STRENGTH? Or some other attribute like intelligence?

Thanks.
