Lightning SPELL Damage will only boost spells, not attacks, that deal lightning damage. The only exception is the initial direct hit of a melee attack (not AoE or Projectiles), which oddly enough scales with respective spell damage. Note that some melee attacks do trigger a spell on hit though, such as pally blood thorns and lemures.
