How does the Queen's Demand skill from Atziri's Rule interact with the Sacrifice Support Gem?
The Queen's Demand skill from Atziri's Rule triggers one of two spells, so Sacrifice Support won't work because it requires you to cast the spells. This is similar to the case of spells from Cast on Crit not working with Sacrifice since they would also be triggered and not cast!

How do the auras from Guardian's Summon Elemental Relic skill scale with levels?
They use the same scaling as the player versions of the auras, with the level of the minion being used instead of the player level requirement of the gem. This can mean they have values that don't correspond exactly to the values available to players. At the maximum minion level of 85:
Anger grants 182–259 added fire damage to spells and attacks.
Hatred grants 29% of physical damage as cold and 20% more cold damage.
Wrath granted 26–415 added lightning damage to attacks and 23% more spell lightning damage.
