Hmm... Just had this battle:

Cosmic (10) < Eagle (11) [Bash - Magic - Bash]

Magic seemed to do slightly more damage than Bash, but not by that much. I wanted to check to see if there was something weird going on with the first attack, which is why I tried Bash again.

So anyway, this battle disproves the theory in its current state because I had a fight earlier using the same Cosmic against Easter where Bash was much more effective than Magic.

Perhaps each species has a specific Bash or Magic stat, and damage taken is affected by the offensive vs. defensive stat for that... Or maybe there are critical hits so some attacks seem to be much more effective than they actually are >_<  Who knows.
