It works like this. Lets take the % that you gave with an AP of 1000(this is somewhat low). But first, the formula is somewhat like this:
[ ( AP - DP( 0.75 ) ) x Phys mod ] + [ AP x Element1's% x It's mod ] + [ AP x Element2's% x It's mod ] and so on. Oh and I will use the % as decimals. Note that the DP and mods comes from the target.

On a fire, dark and physical neutral monster with 0 DP, a.k.a a Torobie, it will turn out like this:
[ ( 1000 - 0( 0.75 ) ) x 1.0 ] + [ 1000 x 1.0 x 1.0 ] + [ 1000 x 0.5 x 1.0 ]
= 1000 + 1000 + 500 = 2500. Although it show 2500 as the total damage, the damage is still not fully elemental but in fact it is made up of 1000 neutral physical damage, 1000 fire elemental damage and 500 dark elemental damage.
It is not counted as "magic" of any sort. This is proven by Dark Barrier that reflects it, Mana Reflector that doesn't reflect it, having shield all or sturdy still reduces it and Charm Wink does not disable it.

Yeah, I think this is it @_@;;

Unless the element is dark and the magic is either a Scythe or Staff of Agony then no.

And to to add to the formula for the elemental damage, the 1.0 at the end inside each [ ] in order stands for torrobie's neutral to physical, neutral to fire and neutral to dark. If the hit is a critical, the bonus get's applied to the AP first before anything else is counted including DP.

Aww... It'd be so nice if it would count for my Arrow Rush and stuff x]

Stickied until decisions have been made. @_@

Both elements would stack when you attacked.
Both total damage from each element would be calculated individually.

So if there was a monster completely physical and fire immune,your dark damage would still damage him.
