Questions regarding Power Siphon

Hey PoE Community,
I want to build a witch using Power Siphon as maindamageskill.
Can someone answer me a few questions about the skill.

1. Does Power Siphon deal physical damage.
2. Does it trigger the wand passive skills that adds lightning, cold and firedamage
3. Does it trigger the passive skill "Minddrinker"
4. If triggerd, does the added lightning damage trigger the passive skill "Static Blow"
5. Is Power Siphon effectet by "Increased critical strike chance for spells" nodes
6. Is Power Siphon effecte by castspeed or attackspeed
7. Does Power Siphon need Accuracy to hit propperly

I would love to get some questions answered before i rolle the build.

1. Yes

2. Yes, as long as you have elemental damage on your wand to work with

3. Yes

4. Yes, long as you deal lightning damage

5. No, power siphon is an attack, not a spell

6. Attack speed

7. Yes

Thank you for your quick reply. That helps me alot. But just to get this 100% correct i have to ask this question, because its not 100% clear to me now.

I ment the passive listed in this article in the wiki.
Its called "Wand Lightning Damage" and it says

"

10% of wand physical dmg added as lightning dmg

The question was, if this is enough to trigger the status ailment "Shock" even when the wand has no added lightning damage mod?

Since this would be a core feature of the build i need to get this clear and make myself not dependend on wands to rolle lightning damage.

Thanks and greetings

power siphon is mostly physical, but it can boost elemental and chaos damage if it is supported due to its 150% damage modifier.

then added element wand nodes get boosted, and yes its only an attack so no spell related mods will work.

It depends on how much elemental damage you deal relative to a monster's life:

From the mechanics thread:

"

The duration of the chilled, frozen, and shocked statuses is related to the amount of cold/lightning damage dealt:
Shocked: 276ms per 1% max life dealt as lightning
Chilled: 138ms per 1% max life dealt as cold
Frozen: 100ms per 1% max life dealt as cold
