Apologies f this has been hashed out before - I searched for it and did not find it.
We have a 9th level Hexblade with Improved Pact Weapon as an Invocation, and Pact of the Blade. They have Cast Elemental Weapon (a Hexblade spell) with a 5th level slot. Their weapon is a 2 handed sword they created with Pact of the Blade.
Pact of the Blade: You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand... This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Improved Pact Weapon: You can use any weapon you summon with your Pact of the Blade feature as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.
In addition, the weapon gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls, unless it is a magic weapon that already has a bonus to those rolls.
Elemental Weapon: A nonmagical weapon you touch becomes a magic weapon. Choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. For the duration, the weapon has a +1 bonus to attack rolls and deals an extra 1d4 damage of the chosen type when it hits.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th or 6th level, the bonus to attack rolls increases to +2 and the extra damage increases to 2d4. When you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the bonus increases to +3 and the extra damage increases to 3d4.
---- So, your summoned/created weapon counts as magical for specifi purposes, but is not magical. You can use it as a focus and it gets +1 to hit and damage generally - but nothing makes it a magic weapon and the language specifies speifically that it is only sometimes a magic weapon (as in when you used your Pact abilities with an existing magic weapon). When you cast Elemental weapon, it is not a magic weapon and gets +2 to hit and +2d4 elemental (you choose) damage.
Is all of that right?
If so, does the +2/2d4 damage go on top of the Improved Pact Weapon +1/+1 for to hit/damage?
Now, we can also use the weapon as an implement. Does the Improved Pact Weapon and Elemental Weapon damage bonus to hit and damage apply to damage from an Eldritch Blast cast while using the weapon as an implement? The Improved Pact Weapon applies the bonus to the weapon/implement's attack and damage rolls ... are the spell attack rolls and damage rolls onsidered to be the weapon and damage rolls of the implement if the implement was used? Similarly, Elemental weapon doesn't specify weapon attack rolls... just attack rolls.
