Maw of Mischief has two distinct damaging components: a spell explosion, and a corpse explosion.

The corpse explosion is (in the overwhelming majority of cases) your primary source of damage with Maw of Mischief, and it does not scale with spell damage modifiers.

The game is essentially lying to you by suggesting that spell damage modifiers are beneficial here.

Eventually I want to fully support both components of Maw of Mischief in PoB, but doing so (along with adding proper corpse mechanics) is both complicated and low priority at the moment.
