At Str 9, Dex 13, Int 50 you get the following damages.

standard: 238

magic: 441

enchanted: 456

At Int 50 you're best catalyst is Logan's (not counting the tin crystallization catalyst) which would have an adjust of 236. CMW adds 1.4x adjust to the damage of one's weapon, meaning it would add 330 to every strike for a damage of 568. This is 112 higher than enchanted (working out at almost exactly 25% higher damage), however, this is only for 1 minute at a time and the spell has 3 uses. Personally, I would forgo the 25% extra damage for a more consistent, reliable weapon and save the attunement slot for another spell because without CMW or a similar buff, your falchion is close to useless. If I were to make a buff class, I'd use Ricard's Rapier.
