I'd be careful stating it as a fact since it has yet to be tested, which we can't in the current beta. Except the wand attack ofc, that is a given.
This should be pretty easy to test. Grab a melee weapon that has a magic damage proc on it. Then use spectral blades. If spectral blades deals the bonus magic damage, then it counts as using your melee attack. I've tested this on the DH and none of her abilities count as "normal attacks" which is disappointing.
I would hope that spectral blades would be different as the synergy with MW looks cool.
See this blog for proof:
Not only does he confirm Magic Weapon works with Spectral Blades, but shows that any effects on your weapon do too, such as a poison effect.
I hope they buff up SB though. Having MW be a requirement in order for SB not to be sucky is kind of a downer. Though most Melee builds will most likely have both anyway but they said they want to try to avoid forced acts and 'forcing' you to get them both especially when you only have 6 max slots is kind of annoying.

I agree with feminism. I don't think that it's right that for every dollar a man makes, a women gets 70 cents. Why do I only get 30 cents and some chick gets the rest?
