Magic Fang, Magic Attacks (Evo) and Incorporeal Monsters


Rules Questions


OK, my group is currently in a jam because we are up against Shadows and possibly other incorporeal. My group is comprised of a Paladin/oracle (duel Cursed), Cleric(, and my summoner. We are all 6th level but the cleric and my summoner are less than 6k away from level 7. The cleric of course has some ability against these guys but my summoner currently does not and nor does his eidolon.

Does magic fang have the ability to let my eidolon's natural attack count as a magical weapon in order to damage incorporeals or would it have to only be greater magic fang?

Does the magic attacks evolution allow my eidolon to strike and damage incorporeals?


As far as I see it, since magic fang is a weapon enhancement bonus it deals magic damage and thus works against incorporeals (albeit at halved damage)
greater magic fang is just the same here, the magic damage in it's description is just for "it bypasses magic but not silver, adamant and the other stuff weapons with a high enhancement bonus would" since it can go above +1


Do you still count strength bonuses?


I am wondering also if energy attacks also effect incorporeals?

For instance the energy attack evolution of a eidolon.

Force effects, ghost touch weapons, ectoplasmic/transdimensional spells, and channel energy work at full power. Nonmagical weapons, nothin'. Everything else? Half strength. That would include the energy attack evolution.
