Delphic Arcania Lore will both increase this combat art's damage as well as the life leech effect of the Life Leech modification.
Delphic Arcania Focus reduces regeneration time as usual.
Concentration reduces regeneration time as usual.
Whichever of Intelligence, Strength, or Dexterity modifies your weapon damage will also modify damage for this CA, since its damage is based on weapon damage. However, Intelligence does not modify this CA based on its "Combat Art Damage" effect, only on its "Weapon Damage" effect, if any, on your wielded weapon.
Stamina Reduces regeneration time.
The various Weapon Lores increase chance to hit as usual.

NOTE: Despite some expectations Ancient Magic and Tactics Lore will not have an affect on Magic Coup.

Pros

The mod 2a Life Leech (leech life enchanced by Delphic Arcania Lore ) and the mod 3a Stray Damage (area of effect) work good together, the combat art will drain life from all the opponents nearby.
