Sad Indeed...

If that calculator was accurate, zakum's arm would need like 20k magic defense to get my damage that low. The int-based formula looks a little bit off now, since zakum's arm would need about 8k magic def to lower damage by that much. I don't think it gets that high even with the magic defense up buff.

Well, like I said before, Kyran's formula isn't the formula the game uses. But both formulas are exponential. And because of how exponential graphs behave, that's why you see the difference as your magic is much higher.

Here's the explanation in picture form.



For low magic scores, Kyran's formula is very accurate. But the more magic you have, the more and more the two formulas grow apart from eachother. Which is why for 17xx magic, it looks like Kyran's formula is "wrong".

Anyway, I believe that's why your numbers are different than what the calculator says. I can't think of any other explanation.

And about the level 70 weapon vs the level 130, or the level 70 vs the 103, I might play with it some more when I have time again. Those actually haven't crossed my mind when I was thinking about converting from lukless to low luk lol.
