There's absolutely no way even 100 extra mattack could compensate for you losing 25% of your total damage.
Just because I like backing up statements of fact with numbers, assuming you had 1200 mattack before your weapon, here's the results of the weakest shine wand possible compared to the strong natural 130 elemental against skeles:
1200 magic + 72 for shine = 71393 to 86694
1200 magic + 161 for ele = 64012 to 77109
Even the strongest elemental doesn't give you nearly the oomp after a 25% cut. It essentially negates your entire bonus you get for skeles being susceptible to holy.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
