Also, Dual/Triple Techs which utilize more than one magic are considered Shadow damage, just as magic combined with a physical attack makes the attack that element, so even without using Robo, Marle and Lucca's Dual Techs together equal shadow damage.
I didn't think that Cure Beam had an element. It's just healing. I think elements only really affect attacking.

Also, the Antipode Dual Techs from Marle and Lucca are absurdly overpowered, especially early on in the game.
