Obliteration wand: physical damage applying to spells?

Noobish question here, but does the 'Adds (24-30) to (80-92) Physical Damage' applies to spell? Like for instance with Blade Vortex?

Adds xx + xx damage of any kind is local if it is not stated as spell.

So its NOT? Not sure I get the local thing...

Does it also mean all the nodes adding physical damage won't apply to spells?

No, the "Adds (24-30) to (80-92) Physical Damage" is not added to spells. However, "Gain (13-15)% of Physical Damage as Extra Chaos Damage" does apply to spells that do physical damage (such as blade vortex).

Depends on the node. If the node says something like "Adds 10% physical damage", then yes, it will apply to spells that do physical damage. However, if the node says "Adds 10% attack physical damage", then no, it doesn't apply to spells, only attacks.

Ok! So the starting area of Shadow, with its multiple PHYS and CHAOS damage WILL apply to Blade Vortex then. Very good to know, thanks! :)
