Using triggered Earth Wail to ward bash doesn't apply the bonuses from the Capstone or Potion of Strength.
Both apply when using triggered Force Bolt against characters. Haven't cross-checked the spells yet.- You attack the ward with your triggered Earth Wail spell, dealing 18 points of arcane damage. The impact is absorbed with a resounding thud and the ward seems to ripple a bit. (2025-06-19 05:01:02).
- You feel your muscles thrum with power. While under the influence of the Strength potion, you will deal an additional +2 damage with hand-to-hand and melee attacks and can carry more items. (2025-06-19 05:01:25).
- (25 times) You attack the ward with your triggered Earth Wail spell, dealing 18 points of arcane damage. The impact is absorbed with a resounding thud and the ward seems to ripple a bit. (2025-06-19 05:01:55).
- You feel the effects of Strength fade. (2025-06-19 05:01:55).
- (18 times) You attack the ward with your triggered Earth Wail spell, dealing 18 points of arcane damage. The impact is absorbed with a resounding thud and the ward seems to ripple a bit. (2025-06-19 05:02:15).
EDIT:
Checked both spells against an evil faction ward. Previous one was neutral.
Both spells don't get the Capstone or Strength bonus when triggered again the ward.

It occurred to me that this could be an order-of-operations thing, with Deep Spellcraft converting the spells to Arcane damage. So I bought back Deep Spellcraft, and tested again. The capstone and strength potion still don't apply when bashing a ward. Also tested memory cast Earth Wail, and that didn't get the bonuses either.
