With the polearm master Feat I can use a bonus action to make a 2nd attack with the other end and it uses a d4 for the damage. However if I had already cast Shillelagh on the weapon the turn prior; does that make it the Shillelagh stats since it's a melee attack with the weapon or still a d4.
Polearm Master’s specific language makes that bonus action 1d4+Wisdom modifier for damage. The spell allows the caster to use Wisdom in place of strength for attack and damage and Polearm Master specifies that it’s bonus action attack uses the same modifier as with the attack action.
Its similar to how when using a normal quarter staff it’s 1d6 when used one handed, versatile for 1d8. That’s the attack action only, as Polearm Master’s bonus action is “specific” and overrides the “general” damage from the attack action.
