Dark Fury + Dark Spiral Aura

[kmdietri]

Would the damage bonus from Dark Fury apply to the Damage dealt by Dark Spiral Aura?

The only reason why I think it might not is because it says in the Dark Fury feat that it applies to damage when you use a power.

I'm not sure if the Dark Spiral Aura qualifies as using a power.

Darkspiral Aura is most definately -not- a power. None of the pact boons are.

Indeed, Darkspiral Aura is not a power. The easy way to discern if something is a power is when they're set up in the "power format", like Cleave, Spiteful Glamor, or even Lay on Hands.

While it's not unbalancing per se to let the feat affect Darkspiral Aura, it does allow for the Warlock to retain a point in his aura more often... Ultimately, however, I don't see this as a major issue, so I'd go along with either, depending on what a given group/DM decides.
