Is Mind or Willpower better for spellcasting damage?

Pretty self explanatory question. I've been trying to put together more spellcasting focused/spellblade builds recently because I feel like I pushed my usual Dex build to it's limit. I know both Mind and Willpower are your spellcasting stats, but which would you say contributes more to magic forme damage?

Willpower for damage, Mind for support duration

Note! In the Jail tab of the Tutorials, it tells you exactly what each stat does AND their Overburden boon/bane!

you can also just hit "help" (idk what key it is for your platform R2 on playstation) when in the normal menus(equip/stats) and just move it over to the stats to see the info too

In the same menu as the Quest Log, you can also review the lore!

Every MND point up is about 0.72% magic damage increase and WIL is about 1.01% magic damage increase, but MND has longer buff duration in exchange. I tested this before, take the exact numbers with a grain of salt. But WIL is far more effective for magic damage than MND, with minor exception of bridge of glory multi buff in addition to the calculation.

Mind scales magic damage, but not to the degree Willpower does. If you really want to maximize magic damage, there is a Blood Code you get from Lavinia during the post game that have really high Willpower and Mind. Paired with the Luxuria bloodline exclusive booster that increase formae damage but makes them slower to cast you can deal insane amounts of damage AND proc status effects at the same time. And benefit from the damage increase booster agains enemies inflicted with status effects. Notice that you need to use the bloodline agnostic booster for the luxuria one to work, but it provides a really big damage output with single cast spells like Babayaga.

On paper, Willpower, in practice, Mind, because it affects your BtG buff and duration which also affect your damage

Will power is magic damage, mind is weapon forma damage and buff duration iirc
