Keystone

Strength's Damage bonus applies to all Spell Damage as well [1]

Legend tells of incantations so powerful that only giants could recite them.

Iron Will is a keystone passive skill that causes the increased melee physical attack damage bonus from strength to apply to spells as well.

Mechanics

Iron Will causes strength to grant 1% increased spell damage per 5 points of strength, alongside the melee physical damage bonus it already grants. Note that this bonus applies to all spell damage, not just physical.
