Does the Dusk Crown Affect Miracles?

So I've been told by both FamousAmos and Tolvo Dusk Crown doesn't affect miracles, I didn't believe them so its time to test!

I'm on my SL120 Dex/Fth build testing on the hollows in the duel area, I'm on NG. My character has 45 Fth, and with a Darkmoon Talisman 208 Magic Adjust. I'll test a few spells.

WoG:
Without Crown:

Hollow Warrior 525 Dmg
Crossbow Soldier: 525 Dmg
Spear Soldier 524 Dmg/209 Shield Up

With Crown:

Hollow Warrior: 630 Dmg
Crossbow Soldier: 630 Dmg
Spear Soldier: 639 Dmg/252 Dmg

Great Lightning Spear:

Without Crown:
All Same 562 Dmg and 252 through shield

With Crown
All Same: 675 Dmg and 275 through shield

Heal

Without Crown

Healed from 206 to 831, so 625 HP

With Crown

Healed from 175 to 800, so 625 HP

So Dusk Crown buffs offensive miracles, but not heals. Now you know

I always thought it did...

So did I, then two very good players told me it didn't. So I had to test.

I woulda had your back. I've used it to wog a certain pair of campers in the Forest to hell

Yeah, the dusk crown boosts everything -- magic, miracles, and pyro. A lesser known fact is that the 30% reduction in magic defense you take as a tradeoff also applies to melee damage from magic-type elemental weapons. You can do really obscene damage to someone wearing a dusk crown if you backstab them with a magic/enchanted weapon (particularly if you also have an Int build that the weapon scales with).

Wait, so the Crown of Dusk buffs a MLGS?

No.
He is saying the dusk crown drops magic defense, includin defense against weapons with magic damage.

Ring of the Suns Firstborn, + Ring of the Sun Princess, + Dusk Crown?
920 damage Wrath of Gods.
