Draconic Spell Augmentation

Anyone know what effects besides straight up spells trigger the T4 DI ability Draconic Spell Augmentation? Also, do the damage procs (light or sonic) scale with SP based on the originating spell trigger?

The proc does seem to scale with spellpower.   

Not sure about non-spell things triggering it.  It would be interesting if it is triggered by a Fiend or GOO Warlock's eldritch blast/aura though.

Edit:  On an additional note, it only seems to be able to proc on the first cast/hit of a multi-hit spell like Scorching Ray.  I never saw more than 1 of the draconic augmentation procs per cast.

Warlock aura, any pact, should trigger any of them. Same with magistar ones.

The description says it specifically requires the matching element to trigger.  Is the description inaccurate?  Or is it just one of those special aura things?

If it is accurate, only Fiend or GOO pacts would trigger the Fire and Acid versions accordingly.   Fey wouldn't trigger them since it's sonic and the Draconic stuff is elmental only.   The acid version doesn't seem to be worth using as it gives a debuff proc rather than a damage proc that fire and cold give.

Yeah exactly. Could be good for some sort of Shiradi Light/Fire spec build tho if that even exists. I could see warlock Warlock + FVS or something.

7% for 2d100 per cast

This is a good way to look at it, with some caveats. One is that this is not mutually exclusive with Shiradi. I was thinking about it as a twist. But it is significantly less damage.

What's this about an internal cooldown?

Yeah, it would make nice twist on a fiend warlock or a fire based sorcerer.

Consecrate requires a few twists if my memory serves. EB is hard to get the DC high enough at later levels, and doesn't proc shiradi much.

Nevermind I was thinking Crusade, I guess Consecrate is a good twist for a Fire/Light build

Warlock aura also triggers the healing spell proc in EA.

Isn't that because it grants the temporary HP buff (assuming you took that enhancement) to anyone in range though?
