Disregard this then. Edited to make sure it's not misinforming. That's one exception I wasn't aware of.
Elemental damage type of a weapon, so far as I understand it, is not applied to your attacks in any form. What you see as the abilities damage type is the type of damage it inflicts. Not the weapons damage type.
