Blast Scepter allows you to cast Thunderwave at 4th LVL at will. Heart of the Storm states:
Heart of the Storm
At 6th level, you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. In addition, whenever you start casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals lightning or thunder damage, stormy magic erupts from you. This eruption causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take lightning or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates) equal to half your sorcerer level.
Does the blast scepter trigger the Heart of the Storm passive? Moreover, if I have something that allows me to add my modifier to the spell, can I add it to the spell cast from the scepter something like empowered evocation?
Plus if ya guys have something to advise if I want to build this type of a dumb build?
I don’t think the rules cover that. If I was the DM I wouldn’t allow that to work because it’s the Blast Scepter that’s casting the spell, not the Sorcerer. But I suspect that every DM will have their own opinion of that.

this is how I would rule that as well.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
Some magic items allow the user to cast a spell from the item, often by expending charges from it. The spell is cast at the lowest possible spell and caster level, doesn’t expend any of the user’s spell slots, and requires no components unless the item’s description says otherwise. The spell uses its normal casting time, range, and duration, and the user of the item must concentrate if the spell requires concentration. Many items, such as potions, bypass the casting of a spell and confer the spell’s effects with their usual duration. Certain items make exceptions to these rules, changing the casting time, duration, or other parts of a spell.
A magic item, such as certain staffs, may require you to use your own spellcasting ability when you cast a spell from the item. If you have more than one spellcasting ability, you choose which one to use with the item. If you don't have a spellcasting ability - perhaps you're a rogue with the Use Magic Device feature - your spellcasting ability modifier is +0 for the item, and your proficiency bonus does apply.
RAW, even though the spell is cast from a magic item, it is still the Character that “casts” the spell.
Hm, that makes me change my stance. I don't much care for it, but the rule looks to be clear. I guess it would trigger.
