Mjölnir not getting triggerd by spells

I was playing around a bit with Mjölnir. I wanted to trigger shock nova with lightning warp. Warping onto Enemies did not trigger shock nova. I tested around a bit more with it and tried over 30 spells. None of it trigger it. When using any attack it triggers.

This is not a bug; it is considered a local modifier.

This is the same reason it is not reliable if dual-wielding; Mjölner must be involved in the Hit. When casting spells you're never doing so specifically with the weapon, and when attacking, you are only doing so when that weapon is what is judged to have Hit the enemy - which, barring any skill-level weapon type restrictions - will be only 50% of the time.

Oh I see. I didnt know this. Thank you very much!

You're very welcome!

And you're not alone - I've always wished the Local v Global distinction didn't exist, and they instead just stipulated "Attacks With this Weapon" or the like. Maybe one day, they will.

same... its always confusing when it has the same wording as a mod that is global on other slots... like the now legacy chance to bleed/poison stats.

with the flat ele, and phys mods that show up on the damages its easier to tell those are local because of that.
