Which stat does Eldritch Blast use when grabbing it from the Spell Sniper feat?

Eldritch Blast is a Warlock cantrip, and Warlocks use their Charisma for their spells, even when you multiclass.
If I have Gale the Wizard (whose spellcasting stat is Intelligence) learn the Spell Sniper feat at level 4, which gives me a cantrip, and I choose Eldritch Blast even though I have no levels in Warlock, will Eldritch Blast use Gale's Intelligence, or his Charisma?
Question from user hammythepig at stackexchange.
Answer:
This is one instance where Baldur's Gate 3 differs from 5th edition.
The short answer is: the attribute used is whatever it says the attribute is when you're picking it.
For Gale, as a Wizard, this means INT. For any spellcasting class, it seems to use whatever your primary class' spellcasting ability is. (WIS for Clerics / Druids / Rangers, CHA for Bards / Warlocks / Paladins).
For anyone without spellcasting, it seems to use INT.
