Elemental Augmentation

Elemental Augmentation is a passive feature which adds damage to the caster's elemental cantrips.

Description

When one of your cantrips deals ⁠Acid, ⁠Cold, ⁠Fire, ⁠Lightning, or ⁠Thunder damage, add your Spellcasting Modifier to the damage dealt.

How to learn

Granted by the equipment:

• Necklace of Elemental Augmentation

Notes

• Elemental Augmentation does not actually check for dealt damage matching one of the listed elements, but rather checks for a matching DamageType flag. However, added elemental damage (such as from sources like  Lightning Charges) does not count as originating from the cantrip, which results in no functional difference between the two methods.
• Elemental Augmentation stacks with the  Elemental Affinity: Damage feature for most Draconic Bloodline Sorcerers (though not those with green dragon ancestry, as this item doesn't improve Poison damage). In this case, the Charisma modifier will be added to the damage of the relevant cantrips twice.
• Elemental Augmentation does not work on non-elemental damage cantrips like  Eldritch Blast, even if they deal additional elemental damage from effects like  Lightning Charges or  Phalar Aluve: Shriek.

• When multiclassing, Elemental Augmentation uses the spellcasting ability modifier of the last class added and not the spellcasting ability of the class which granted the cantrip.
  • The minimum additional damage is 1, even if the character's spellcasting ability modifier is 0 or negative.
•  Hellflame Cleave deals two instances of damage which both receive the bonus damage from Elemental Augmentation.

• The following cantrips receive bonus damage from Elemental Augmentation:
