Q:

Does Wand of the War Mage bonus apply to spells like GFB and Booming Blade?

Does Wand of the War Mage bonus apply to spells like green-flame blade and booming blade?
I could make an argument for this either way.  On the one hand, these spells "Make a melee attack with a weapon" which makes me think that it would not.  On the other hand, from an action standpoint, it is clearly a spell and not an attack.  Has this been settled?

A:

Wand of the War Mage does not affect these spells.
"Spell attacks" and "weapon attacks" are mutually exclusive attack types (All attacks are one or the other, not both; See also), and the attacks made as part of these spells are melee weapon attacks; they use your normal attack stats/bonuses rather than your spell attack stats/bonuses, etc. 
As such, effects that benefit spell attacks have no impact on the attacks for these spells.
