I realized I had an older save file that I could test this on, although it was more difficult than I thought it'd be.

I took everyone out of the party except my main, then class changed him until he was a level 4 Wizard with 400 HP and 10 Defense, and equipped him with a 1 attack Magic Wand.

I went into Monument of Steel until I found level 20 Scavengers, then recorded the minimum and maximum damage ranges. Before and after getting Sword Bond 2, damage received went from 21-34 to 14-24.

Based on the wording used, this means Spirit Wall and the Veil skills are passive bonuses too.

As a final note, I only tested this with my main character. Even though it seems unlikely, it would make sense within the game story if this only affected the main character.
