It's a factor in how much damage you do. Here's the best explanation of it:

str is about physical aspect. The higher, the better your crits, physical resistance, physical damge, life span.
int is about magical aspect. The higher, the better your magic attack, magical resistance, and mana span.

and all are false.......
Phy/Mag have nothing to do with durability, but with your stat base. It's the bonus of damage added when u equip your weapon. Here is an exemple :


The mag power of my blade 56+3 is
705. With a mag reinforce
166.3%, and with
207 Int comes from my build, the bonus mag power when equip the weapon is
207*166.3%=344.2. So my final power when equip the weapon is
705+344.2=1049.2.
mag power (when weapon equiped) = mag power (weapon) + mag reinforce (weapon) * Int
Same with phy reinforce but apply with str.
Same with reinforce for defensive equip
