Energy Blade and Hidden Potential question

Hello everybody,

I've seen in the wiki the following information:

"
When Energy Blade has any quality, the sword is treated as being magic. This enables the use of Hidden Potential and The Ascetic. Energy Blade with no quality is considered normal, also relevant for The Ascetic.


https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Energy_Blade

So unless I'm mistaken, As soon as your Energy Blade gem got at least 1% quality, it should be treated as a magic sword and not a normal one.

This can lead to some interesting interactions but before going down that path for my next league starter, I wanted to make sure my understanding was good.

Long story short, I've bought a hidden potential, used a 1% quality Energy Blade and nothing went according to the plan. It is not treated as magic at all (in game DPS tooltip is the same with or without the hidden potential jewel).

So the question is:

Am i misunderstanding something or is it an outdated/wrong information in the wiki (There are no sources for the statement that is provided in the wiki)

have a nice day
