How does the forged weapons/armour mechanic work?

What about idols that add elemental damage, like the “of cooling” affix? Would all my spells be considered cold when I have that idol? Thank you!

No, that just adds flat damage, the tags are the important thing.

And interestingly, it’s not as consistent as that! The idol that adds lightning damage to Shurikens does add the lightning tag, but the “of cooling” idol that adds spell cold damage doesn’t (maybe because it’s adding damage to every spell rather than a specific skill? shrugs).
