[not a bug] Sacred Flame does not pick up bonus light damage

Support
1

Running a Light Paladin with 105% bonus light damage. Casting Sacred Flame verses a Dark Enemy does not pick up the bonus light damage, only the bonus included for Sacred Flame text.

Base damage for my Sacred Flame was 55,827. Casting verses a dark enemy yielded 86,531 damage. (55,827 * 1.55 = 86,531)

I would have expected 177,390 (55,827 * 2.05 * 1.55) for the multiplicative bonus.

I have more testing to see if Sacred Flame is just not picking up the bonus light damage from my gear against non dark enemies.

Sacred Flame deals fire damage, so it wouldn’t get any bonus to light damage, as it doesn’t cause light damage?
Or do you mean, it’s not getting the bonus damage for being against a dark enemy generally?

Ah my bad. I never noticed it did it’s damage as fire. Sorry about that.

I never bothered with the spell before making a theme build with the All Father’s tome.
