Is it really inexplicable? Do you have talents or skills that might be affecting it?
There are, to my knowledge, no talents or skills that increase tome power or decrease axe power.

These numbers are with One-on-One, 59 Fire ATK, and roughly 97 SWA. Basic attack damage doesn't differ at all between Tome and Axe mode.
Based on that, if I had to guess, I'd say the skill isn't taking the 50% Fire ATK scaling into account when used in axe form for some reason.
Do you have the two hand talent, and an glove item?
That would make it do more, not less. It would also make the basic attack damage different.
So no.
I added debug messages for this so give it a looksie in 1.88c.

Gonna try when update's up. Just confirming power doesn't change ahead of time.
My first guess was maybe Dualpower, but that wouldn't lead to so drastic a change.
I'll test too, once I unlock the potential on my Rexys.
Maybe Spirit Trip counts as a spell, so it's receiving bonus damage from the Tome's Power?
But there's no 'casting tool' flag.
