Are Weapon Skills Spells?

For example, would my venom arrow be effected by +weapon damage or by +spell damage?

    It is more complicated (or easy) as this, so I'll give a very basic universal rule.

    All skills that use Magicka scale off spell damage
    All skills that use Stamina scale off weapon damage

    So for example:
    Venom Arrow, uses stamina, so it is effected by weapondamage.
    Impulse (destruction staff skill) uses magicka and so it is effected by spell damage (even though a staff is a weapon)
    Inner fire (undaunted skill) uses magicka, so it is effected by spell damage
    However, if you morph inner fire to inner beast it suddenly uses stamina and so it is effected by weapondamage.

    Through me you pass into the city of woe:
    Through me you pass into eternal pain:
    Through me among the people lost for aye.
