I've seen/heard multiple assurances that Arcane Augmentation, now listed in the wiki as
Spell Augmentation, only works on wizard and sorcerer spells, or on other classes casting spells that are also wizard or sorcerer spells.
These people who are always generous with their opinions, and are never wrong insist that it doesn't work on other spells.
So, I need to double check that I'm interpreting what I see correctly and ask, if what I think think I'm seeing is what I am actually seeing, if this is WAI. As I already know exactly what kind of response I'll get at the mother boards, I figure I might as well double-check here.
When I cast a spell, any arcane spell, but particularly non-wiz/sorc spells while
not wearing a spell augmentation item, the combat log does not tell me at what caster level I am casting a spell. <--- this is, I assume, WAI. There's nothing special to report, so it reports nothing extra.
When on that same character, who is level 20, I equip an Arcane Augmentation IX item with no other changes and cast an arcane non-wiz/sorc spell, the combat log reports something like "You begin to cast said spell at level 22."
As the only change was equipping the augmentation item, I have to assume that this is the effect of the item. Right?
So... is this WAI? Or is this borderline fight club?
Is this only working because my character is technically "arcane"?
That arcane augmentation item is BTC, so I'm thinking of getting a
Robe of Duality and testing it out on a druid and a FvS.
Thing is, it might just save me some time if anyone here can just tell me what's going on.
