The practical difference between '''attached''' and '''detached''' '''DRS''' sources is that some '''damage rider''' effects will not apply to '''detached''' sources. For example, the {{DamageText|1d4|Fire}} damage instance from the Amulet of Elemental Torment is detached from the spell cast and thus will not get boosted by '''damage riders''' like the [[Potent Robe]] or [[Elemental Affinity: Damage]] which explicitly apply only to spell/cantrip attacks. It will, however, be boosted by more '''universal''' damage riders like [[Arcane Charge (Condition)|Arcane Charge]].
