Make Range Amplification Device Great

Currently, AoE skills that are always centered around you are extremely inconsistent.
Doomed's Reproach and Unseen Force for example use a normal Range and are affected by RAD as a result (which is really awesome).
Wouldn't it be awesome, if every skill like that worked like that, instead of being "melee/personal"?

I don't think there's any other way to make RAD decent on a class that's not Doomed (or Mindslayer kinda), as most spells or psionic abilities already have a range of 10

Maybe RAD could also increase the radius of skills that act in an area around the user and having it also affect sustained talents too could work (so that'd affect stuff like blastwave, gloom, mindstorm, dreamforge, bathe in light, circles, etc.). That'd open up more synergies that could be explored, even if it doesn't end up being an absolute top tier choice for a given character.

It also has potential on Anorithil but right now neither the class nor the prodigy are particularly good. This is a solid idea, would help make it viable.

For what it's worth, it does currently work on gloom, though the range listed in the description isn't changed.

That's the main thing that makes me hesitant to use it, namely that it seems inconsistently applied. It appears a matter of chance whether or not it applies for most abilities it might be interesting with.

An example of this is that it currently affects Anorithil's Corona, but not Hymn Nocturnalist.

It works well with summoner as I've been told
