That would mean only spark charges from surge? Then the other available affects would be fire aura from flame reave/surge, flame wave from firebrand, and ice spikes from shatter strike?
Thanks for clarifications.
The prior talent, Volka's Razor, has a similar message about "the spells they trigger from their trees", but it has no mention of the equippable spells. Is there hidden language or will this talent apply to equippable spells since they are not exempted in the tooltip?
Thanks again for all the answers.
I'm not exactly sure about that other node but this rule is a systematic one and while we might have worked in a specific alternative in a special case. This should be the normal and expected behavior of equipable skills being cast "fresh" when triggered.
