Magic weapons?

I know there are magic weapons one can craft. but are there any that can be found as treasure in a chest? After defeating which numbered boss can you access crafting magic weapons? I've only killed the first two bosses, but now have fully upgraded iron weapons/armor. I am also building a fortress in the mountains of stone. I'm hesitant to defeat the 3rd for fear of the mountain zone creatures attacking my base. I'm especially worried about the werewolf I saw in the mountains at night and those wraiths in the swamp. I usually only play Offline due to bad internet, and have easily put in a 1000 plus hours since launch, because, I like to explore, gather, build bases, tame wolves and boars. I also have several characters that all use the bow along with exclusive use of shield and either mace, axes, sword.

If you want more gear diversity id check out epic loot from nexus but its most times coupled with creature control as well. The game itself offers nothing in terms of loot/gear variety.

And I wasn't counting silver as magic damge; if I was I would have included the Silver Sword.
Heh... yes, right. I did forget about Frostner's frost damage. My bad ;)
Swamp Guck glows in the dark naturally though which means the bow glows naturally and not magically. As for the arrows, they're poisonous because the Ooze you craft them from is naturally poisonous.
Silver sword deals spirit damage to those supernatural creatures vulnerable to spirit damage as I stated above. That's more of a natural vulnerability to an inherently natural property than a magical one.
Except the arrows have nothing be to do with the bow. You can use normal wood arrows and they become poisonous, I would definitely call that magical.

Not true about Draugr Fang. You don't use Ooze to craft the bow, so your argument that "they're poisonous because the ooze you craft them from is naturally poisonous" doesn't even follow. ANY arrow fired from Draugr Fang does poison damage, no Ooze involved.
The Gunk used in crafting the bow isn't used to make any other poison damage, and the limited amount used couldn't poison endless arrows even if it was, without the use of magic.

We did.
Your argument to paraphrase is "uh, Gunk is poisonous even though there is nothing in the game to indicate it, and uh, SOOOOO poisonous it can make infinite poison arrows in a uh totally non-magical way"
In other words, its not a valid argument in the slightest.

Valid argument? It's just an opinion and is valid as yours ;)
You may consider Swamp Guck magic and I may consider it a naturally occurring radioactive ooze that is toxic and glows in the dark... that would be considered 'magic' to a Viking. Alternatively, it could be an extremely potent toxin, much like those obtained from the appropriately named Arrowhead frogs, which as I'm sure you're aware only require a tiny amount to be effective.
In any case, if we are to agree that it is magic, then is it a magical property of the Swamp Guck or has the bow been enchanted during the crafting? If so, what in the game indicates that we have learned the knowledge and ability to fashion such a magical artifact? Did we magically learn that too?

The closest thing to a magical weapon we can expect would IMO be the flame metal sword...
but that isn't available yet.
We can go to Ashlands, mine flaming ore and smelt it into flame metal ingots, but that's as far as it goes for now in the vanilla game.
I suspect that a flame metal weapon will be handy to use against the mobs (spiders please) we may get when Mistlands is implemented, but we shall just have to wait until next year (most likely) to see ;)

Magic weapons and ammo become available after the third boss. Only two craftable magic weapons are currently the Frostner warhammer and the Draugr Fang bow.

Weapons that may deal additional damage of a sort that is due to a vulnerability to that property doesn't make them magical as such.
In as much as any silver weapon will deal spirit damage (including Frostner), I suppose you might call that enchanted but not magical as such. Silver may be anathema to undead and werefolk, but that is more of an inherent property in much the same way as iron was anathema to the feyfolk.
As for the Draugr Fang, that deals Swamp Guck poison, pure and simple and not exactly magical.

Yes there are a few craftable magic weapons in the game thus far.

Sadly, no.
No secrets, no coves with treasure, no hidden items, no cool / creative loot or very rare drops.
No mass scale dungeons with bosses, etc....
