Question about the warlock PP "Astral Ascendant"

Radiant Curse (11th level): Your Warlock’s Curse deals radiant damage. You can deal your Warlock’s Curse’s extra damage to a creature affected by your Warlock’s Curse when an ally hits that creature, but still only once per round.

This feature allows the warlock, to trigger his curse on an allies hit. Now i'm just wondering, how is this damage resolved?

Is it added to the damage the ally who hit dealt?

Is it an independent damage roll caused by the warlock, that is modified by static damage bonuses (like items and feats) of the warlock, that don't need the implement keyword?

Thank you for your reply, but could you further elaborate on this? My confusion stems from the wording of the PP feature "You can deal your Warlock’s Curse’s extra damage to a creature...". It doesn't say, something like "you can add your warlocks curse damage to an allies damage roll..."
If i remember correctly, the differentiation of damage rolls and extra damage rolls has been removed from the rules in the book of random changes (RC), so this could even work, theoretically.

The key word there is 'extra damage' - you recollect incorrectly that this was changed in the RC.

Are you sure? I mean i never checked this myself, but i think lordofweasels and alcestis often mentioned this in rules Q&A threads, as well as calling the RC the book of random changes.
