Wand of spell striking

How does the wand of spell striking work exactly?
I'm quite sure it bypasses the spell immunity abjuration (I'm talking about SCS, where usually breach and pierce magic are blocked by spell immunity).
Is this correct? And why? Is it a bug or it's not considered an abjuration spell but a spell of a different school?

    SI: Abjuration doesn't block Pierce Magic nor Breach (this one can be blocked with a SCS option) ;)
    Actually, Pierce Magic can dispel SI.

    Here's a table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AoLScCUe7V__dE1RaEhCbm5na0VlakQwYVMxOFJVc1E

    Plus, and sorry for the double post, Wand of Spell Striking doesn't cast Breach or Pierce Magic: it just replicates these spells effects.
    Which means that a spell that protects you specifically from their spell IDs (SPWI513 and SPWI608), it's useless against the wand.

    PS: this applies to all the wands.
    PPS: if the target is immune to, let's say, sleep effects, both Wand of Sleep and Sleep won't work.

    @SpaceInvader‌
    I remember that table.... but I thought that with SCS there was an option to let spell immunity: abjuration block all abjuration spells.
    I can't access my weidu log, but in SCS readme I can't find that option, so maybe I was wrong.
    Maybe the only thing that happened is that spell trap blocked my pierce magic, but didn't block the one casted with the wand.
    Sadly the combat log doesn't display why a spell isn't effective...
    So basically there is no way (even with SCS) to block breach or pierce magic with spell immunity?
    You can block them only with spell trap and similar?

    Grazie :)

    You can block Breach with SI:A by using a SCS option.

    Yes. Especially Spell Shield was intended for that.
