Notes

  • This passive 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 Lightning Charges) does not count as originating from the cantrip, which results in no functional difference between the two methods anyways.
  • When multiclassing, this passive uses the spellcasting modifier of the last class added and not the spellcasting modifier of the class which granted the cantrip.
  • The following cantrips receive bonus damage from Elemental Augmentation:
