Divine Bolts as modified by Power Of Skill:
You can use any power you have that is associated with this feat as a basic attack.
Is treated as a basic attack, and because it's ranged, is treated as a ranged basic attack.
The paragon feat: Staff of Channeled Invocations:
Benefit: When you use any ranged invoker attack power through a staff, you can use the power as a melee attack with a range of 1.
Does this channeled divine bolts then count as a melee basic attack?
We could face the question the other way around.
The Staff of Channeled Invocations allows us to use Divine Bolts as a melee 1 attack.
Then, Power of Skill allows us to treat the associated power (now a melee attack) as a basic melee attack.
This boils down to: Is a "melee, basic attack" a "Melee Basic Attack"
As written, there is a tiny amount of wiggle room to say no, but it's pretty hard for me to read that as anything other than you've managed to make divine bolts usable as a melee basic attack.
