Valorous Weapon

@daermadm DM please give the below a read, and decide on how you see that working specific weapon ability working. I’ve read numerous posts and a swath of wild interpretation. Some say it includes strength bonus, others say it includes Power Attack bonus, others just say its limited to the weapon damage dice.
Magic Weapon Abilities - Valorous
A valorous weapon allows its wielder to make powerful charge attacks. When used in a charge, the valorous weapon deals double damage, much like a mounted warrior with the Spirited Charge feat. More than one doubling of damage increases the damage multiple by one per additional doubling, so double-double damage is triple damage, triple-double damage is quadruple damage, and so on.
Caster Level: 12th
Requirements: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, righteous might

It is a charge action and a normal attack.
This should mean everything doubles. To the best of my knowledge, the non-doubling only applies to precision damage such as sneak attacks.
That said, did we ever document a ruling on the doubling of Spirirt Energy damage for critical hits?

@daermadm I don’t think we did document it, in the early days of Rorek’s crit build, i had been appling the crit multiplier to the energy spirit damage, but one night at Show-Mes, @dwarf pointed out i shouldn’t be doing that. So I changed the calculation a while back not to apply the crit multiplier to energy-related effects, like energy spirit, or energy-related weapon procs.

@halfgiant Going to have to reread some rule son that. I really cannot recall them.
