Intelligence - Increase magical damage and block penetration. Skill damage?
It should work or there would be no need for the stat itself, the only game that i see stats not influence direct in the damage is PoE.
Int needs for magic damage.
Magic damage =/= Skill damage
INT 4 Wizzard useless? just 4 autoatack?
I will take as the title of this thread is related as Mage = Wizard, so i would take that wizard skills (not all of them i think) are magic based, which will be influenced by INT, the same goes for Cleric healing/attack skills that have magic damage in them. Otherwise, what is the point on a stats that dont modify skill (magic-type) damage? Except the fact that if it add magic defense (like PoE but in there it add Energy Shield, which is a kind of defense).

General formula that can be used to calculate magic damage for most skills:
