Question about Nefarious Axiom

[Viper358]

In the description for the Nefarious Axiom it says "5% chance on any attack to deliver Malice Damage". What I wanted to know is if this triggers on magic as well as physical attacks.

I used nefarious axiom in my character and I only noticed the malice attack in physical damage. I use some magic attacks but I never saw them affected by this special attack. At least that is my experience, I cannot assure you that it's correct. =P

I did a little testing myself, running around with a new char casting lvl.1 Firebolt. Did about 50 shots with Firebolt and didn't see Malice Damage trigger at all so I'm guessing it doesn't work with magic attacks. It should state "5% chance on physical attacks" or "non-magic attacks" in the description instead of saying "any attack".

Always annoys me when things aren't explained thoroughly in RPGs. Ah well, guess I'll just pick a different Axiom for my spellcaster.

the best it's nefarious magik user I have 3 characters like that and I finish the game in 21 hours with one of them but right that the malice damage is only with weapon not with spell
but when you imbuy your weapon it's very interesting, mix with bloodlust amulet, 2 rings of the assassins and warlord gauntlet you can kill a taurex in 2, with a malice damage when you are it's very good practically in one
my weapon is the "divine ore great sword +3" base damage 11 +3 to hit +3 damage
the 2 rings +10 tohit and +4 damage
the amulet +5 tohit and +2 damage
the warlord gauntlet +5 tohit and +2 damage
my minimum tohit is 7 and damage is 7
with all, my tohit is 29 and damage is 20+9
that with a critical hit or a nefarious savage attack it's damage by 2 so 58 in max damage
