    The improved magic damage focus on Necromancer helmets is not triggering for the Composite Paroxysm spell. Using the COV helmet, a 100-135% increase should be applied.

    Below is a log of casting Composite Paroxysm 5, while wearing ONLY the Hoarfrost Soulslayer Cap, while at 100% crit rate with no other buffs:

    Code:
    [Wed Jul 13 18:50:25 2022] You begin casting Composite Paroxysm.
    [Wed Jul 13 18:50:27 2022] Combat Dummy Ena loses their breath.

    [Wed Jul 13 18:51:10 2022] Combat Dummy Ena has taken 276719 damage from your Composite Paroxysm 5. (Lucky Critical)
    [Wed Jul 13 18:51:16 2022] Combat Dummy Ena has taken 270160 damage from your Composite Paroxysm 5. (Critical)
    When the focus is applied, the message Your Hoarfrost Soulslayer Cap feels alive with power is displayed. It is never shown in the above example, nor is the damage increased by 100-135%.

    Lucy data confirms that the Composite Paroxysm line is indeed Magic resist:

    Code:

    The effects that the composite abilities trigger are level 250 which is far above the level the focus effects can modify.. I'm pretty sure its that way for all the composites (for instance cleric composite blessing is not modified by heal focus)..

    Now if this is by design or not I don't know.. only the dev's can answer.

    Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. This was definitely not immediately obvious to me.
