Apologies if my question seems a bit nit picky, but I would like to be certain I understand how Empower Spell is intended to work.
"Empower Spell (page 122): If I use Empower Spell on a spell that has a die roll with a numerical bonus (such as cure moderate wounds), does the feat affect the numerical bonus?
Yes. For example, if you empower cure moderate wounds, the +50% from the feat applies to the 2d8 and to the level-based bonus.
"
The above quote is from the CRB FAQ on Empower Spell.
Does this mean only a level-based bonus would get increased or does any numerical bonus get increased. For example, a Scorching Ray cast by an Admixture Wizard with 5 levels of wizard, 1 level of fighter, and 3 levels of Eldritch Knight would be cast with +2 damage from wizard levels, and +2 damage from Weapon Specialization. Does Empower increase this to +3 damage from wizard levels and +3 damage from Weapon Specialization? Do neither of the bonuses get increased since they are not a level dependent variable of the spell but rather a class feature and a feat respectively? Does the wizard bonus get increased, but not the feat since it is not level dependent?
I ask this question, because I want to be absolutely certain I can apply Empower Spell to any bonus (which is how I am reading the FAQ).
