something interesting

This may be obvious to some people, but it had never occurred to me. Currently I have equipment that increases my balance damage by 11%. As far as I knew the bonus damage only applied to Balance damage. But I noticed that whenever Ice came up on Spectral Blast it was doing 405 instead the normal 365. It turns out that 405 is 111% of 365. So as long as the spell is Balance, the damage type doesn't matter it'll still be increased.
