This makes no sense

Alright, Alright. Perhaps changing the modifier/wording on the gem itself would be in order then, as it does get confusing?

"Supported Curse Skills also count as Aura Skills"

In this game a "Tag" is only what's listed on gems and governs which +level modifier to X type (that's the "tag") of gem applies.

Supportability naturally often overlaps, but is in actuality entirely independent from that "tag" system. Which Active Skill Gems a Support Gem supports is written in the Support Gem's description.

"Swift Affliction" for example states: "Supports any Skill that has a duration, or can hit enemies to inflict Ailments on them." Righteous Fire by itself has no duration and doesn't hit, but if it's supported by Spell Totem Support it does have a duration because the totem has one. That doesn't add a "Tag" to the gem, that's impossible to do. It simply adds a component to the spell that makes Swift Affliction a valid support gem.

In your head you can think of that as a "flag", or anything else, but it doesn't add or modify the "tags" in the gems description, which is the only thing that matters to +level of X type of gem.
