Blasphemy + area of effect passives

Just FYI for folks.

I was just testing out some area of effect passives with the blasphemy skill. I had the naive impression that the Zone of Control passive and the nodes leading up to it would double the radius of my blasphemy curse. For whatever reason the increase to the curse zone is not reflected in the tooltip I see when hovering over the curse. It's obvious in hindsight, but area of effect passives increase the area of the of the AoE circle by the given multiplier. So zone of control + the preceding nodes will increase the area by 100%. That translates to an increase in blasphemy's radius of 1.414 (take the square root of the multiplier).

I measured it, as well, and that seems to hold. I tried to arrange myself so that I was just on the edge of blasphemy applying to this poor skeleton here:


It looks like I was off by ~50 pixels or so in positioning my character but things seem to make sense

I wonder if spells have increased area of effect, affect Blasphemy, and if they do, do they do it in a different way. Like, do they affect the total radius, and therefor are more powerful for increasing Blashpemy's aoe...
