Morag Tong set boost poison applied to weapon?

The 5th item text for the Morag Tong set reads that enemies “...take 10% more damage from all Poison Damage abilities...”

Notice the word “abilities”. I’m worried that this set will not boost damage from alchemical poison applied to a weapon. Does it or not?

Has anyone tested this or has Zenimax answered such a question on their forums?

A strictly technical reading would suggest that it does not boost alchemical poison applied to weapons, but we all know about editing mistakes or outdated descriptions and the challenge of fully describing complex logic in concise blurbs.

According to this Reddit thread, it works for all poison damage:

[The Morag Tong set] applies a debuff on the target that just makes them take more poison damage.
So it works for set procs and enchants too.
