Spellslinger gem literally reads "This Skill's Mana Reservation is the total of the Mana Reservations of Supported Skills, and cannot be further modified"

That's because all relevant modifiers were already applied to those skills reservations. Applying them again to spellslinger after it totals them would be double-dipping.
All bleeding mods have the attack tag since bleed is only inflicted by attacks yet impale effect does not have an attack tag when impale is only inflicted with attacks.
It is not possible for spell hits to inflict bleeding because of the way the system is set up. Bleeding is fundamentally tied to attack damage.
Nothing stops spells applying impale, they just don't currently have a way to do it. That could easily change in the future.
Spells don't currently apply impale, they can't apply bleeding.
The formulation is just humorous.
First it's written:
Conditional mods do not receive tags based on the condition.
And just the next bullet says
bleed-related mods now receive the Attack tag as well as the Physical and Ailment tags, since bleed can only be applied by attacks
Where bleed gets Attack based on the condition (applied by attacks). Same as Tailwind would been applied by critical hits, but will not receive the Crit tag.
Tailwind has no inherent connection to critical strikes. It's a ground effect ubff that could be applied in any number of ways. Bleeding is fundamentally an attack ailment - bleeding damage is always calcuated from base and added attack damage, and can't come from any other source.
Aren't there some Vaal mobs that can apply bleed with spells? I could have sworn that there were some Vaal blood mages somewhere that could apply bleed with (what appear to be) spells.
There are not. Bleeding damage is calculated from base (and added) attack damage, and only applied by a matching attack hit.

What in tarnation.
Mentally confused it with Slipstream for a second.
