EDIT : I now understood my misunderstandng. I would advise to change the mention "can apply More Sparkles" by "can be empowered by More Sparkles" to make the description less ambiguous.

The in game description of Zoe the passive of Spell Thief says the following: Passive: When Zoe casts a Summoner Spell of Spell Thief, she gains 30% movement speed for 2 seconds and tosses up to 3 missiles at her attack target, dealing X magic damage total. Each missile can apply More Sparkles!

As much as I would have adored it being the case to think of new builds for Zoe, it is not. Using the Active of Spell Thief normally apply More Sparkles, but the 3 following magic missiles do not. A short session in the practice tool against a target dummy should make that quite obvious.

As a Zoe player, the thought of having a short massive buff to the 4 following auto-attacks after using Spell Thief is really interesting, and could lead to the creation of unexpected Zoe builds. If however it was just a mistake in the description of the spell, please correct it to avoid misunderstandings.

I think what it's trying to say each star from Spell Thief can have its damage boosted by More Sparkles!, as if they were basic attacks.

What it's saying is that it can apply More Sparkles!, so if you have More Sparkles! a bubble will consume it to deal more damage. It doesn't count as using a spell per bubble and dealing bonus damage per. This isn't a bug

Test being done, you are right, this is how it is working! I still think the description is a bit confusing. Changing "can apply More Sparkles" by "can be empowered by More Sparkles" would make it less ambiguous.
