Title: Spell Damage % stat on weapons is increasing healing.
Reproduction Rate: 100%

Details: I am not sure if this is an actual a bug or just incorrect wording on the skill. When you equip a wand that has only spell damage on it, it increases the amount of healing power your heal spells will do. Healing is definitely not damage at the moment so if it is intentional maybe just change the word to spell power which would then make sense for healing and damage.
Steps to Reproduce: Equip a weapon with only spell damage % on it write down the amount of healing any spell will do then unequip the item with spell damage on it and see the spell power go down.

Yes, it has been this way for a long time
There are a few reasons for this, and this may change down the road (maybe) to address some of which you mentioned here.
