Does Water Elemental snapshot things like spellpower, crit, hit, or is it modified by character current stats?

Preparation

• Ensure Advanced Combat Logging is enabled
• Remove all gear and equipment from your character.
• Equip Spellpower on-use trinket, such as Icon of the Silver Crescent.

Test Steps

• Run the command "/combatlog"
• Use Spellpower on-use trinket
• Summon Water Elemental
• With Spellpower Trinket still active, command Water Elemental to attack target dummy
• Wait for approx 100 water bolts to cast
• Run the command "/combatlog"
• Upload log to Warcraftlogs and note date/time + test in log title

Fight 1: 492 SP from gear, some trinket at the end Fight 2: 492 SP from gear, nothing else Fight 3: 0 SP from gear, trinket at the end

Small sample size, but it appears SP scaling is ~27.78%

Water Elemental does not snapshot spellpower. Its spell damage seems to modify based on procs/current spellpower on the fly.
