Air and Fire Domains not using proper spell power

[drowrogue]

I am running racial past lives and going with cleric mostly.
I just finished an Air Domain pure Cleric (half-elf) and I am currently level 11 on a Fire Domain Cleric (also pure, but Aasimar).
I am using the same gear for each life to keep it simple, trying to maximize my light spell power with radiance items.
I do not have any magnetism or combustion items.
I noticed that my damage was basically the same with lightning spells (the SLA's) last life with and without my radiance items, and my fire spells are the same this life.

Obviously this is not working properly since Air and Fire Domains are supposed to use the higher of light/air/fire spellpower while in these Domains.
"Your lightning/fire spells will use light Spell Power if it is higher. Your light spells will use Lightning/Fire Spell Power if it is higher."

If you have found different results please share.

My guess is they only affect spells not sla's. Try a fire spell and see if it works.

I have rolled a fresh cleric of Air, sun elf. Leveled to level 15, and equipped my starter equipment. I have intentionally avoided spellcraft, my standing spell power is mostly 0. With the Orb, my Fire+Light spell power increases to 78. With the Shield it goes back to 0. I have not spent any enhancements. I put all domain SLAs on my hotbar, without any metamagic feats.

I took this dude to searing heights.

With shield, at 0 Light spell power (and 0 Electric):
- my Shocking Grasp deals ~23 damage
- my Lightning Bolt deals ~50 damage

With orb, at 78 Light spell power (and 0 Electric):
- my Shocking Grasp deals ~44 damage
- my Lightning Bolt deals ~75 damage

TL;DR: Seems to work for me.

Next I invested 4 AP in Divine Disciple to pick up 20 Light spell power. I still have 0 Electric.
My Shocking Grasp now deals more damage, 27-31.
