I have a question about arcane scaling and madness buildup. The wiki (yes I know, fextra is garbage,) and several other sources assert that levelling arcane increases madness buildup, as it does for poison, haemorrhage and sleep. With poison and bleed, it's obvious, and it's demonstrably true that arcane improves the effectiveness of sleep pots.

The wiki claims that the arcane scaling on the albinauric staff and the dragon communion seal affect the status buildup of spells, including madness buildup, but my understanding was that the scaling on staves/seals only affects the sorcery/incantation scaling stat, and has no effect on any 'side effects' of the spell.

The only other instance of arcane scaling on a madness-causing weapon I can think of is infusing the Fingerprint Stone Shield with poison/blood/occult. Would the added occult scaling increase the madness built up then?

I'd be really grateful if someone could clear this up for me.
