I don't have time to test this right now but I will first thing tomorrow, I'm just wondering if anyone has used signet of illusions along with glyph of elemental power and Elemental Lord. Does this give you an effective level 19 stat for elemental skills?

SoI doesn't work with any other stat buffing I believe.

Even if it did, the benifits of 19 over 15 (12 + 2 + 1) aren't worth it. I'd rather have the 75 health, the rune slot, a more useful Elite, and not have to cast 3 spells to prep for 1 nuke spell. (2 is enough)

The only thing that scales on elemental lord is the duration.

SoI : Use your Illusion Magic attribute for your next 1..3 spells. So buffing your elemental atts won't help at all. And I believe the +1 from other mods doesn't apply when using SoI, excluding things like Golden Eggs, and Shrine buffs.

I dont think SoI works with Glyphs since Glyphs are not spells. But it should work with elemental lord (for longer duration) and intensity.

16 illusion and glyph of ele power to boost up your skills again.

What you people aren't getting is that GoEP boosts Fire magic, water magic, earth magic and air magic. SoI makes your next spells use your Illusion magic attribute. Having +2 Fire magic won't make your 16 Illusion magic any higher. -.-

Edit:Bah spelling.
