Do magicka abilities always benefit from critical spell chance

the-elder-scrolls-online

It is obvious for me that casters are profiting from critical spell chance from the light armor passive skills.

When I look at the Nightblade, most abilities say they inflict magical damage. Do all of these magicka spells benefit from critical spell chance or is this misleading?

Do all magicka spells, which inflict magic damage, benefit from critical spell chance or are there exceptions?

I think yes, unless there's a note that the hit can't be a critical hit.

Quick rule of thumb:

  • If your skill consumes magicka, then magicka will increase its number values and it will (most likely) profit off things such as spell crit.
  • If your skill consumes stamina, then stamina will increase its number values and it will (most likely) profit off things such as weapon crit.
