Can Breath of Darkness Down Your Spine use Damage bonuses (from Badlands or other sources) to abduct Invaders?

Generally no. Damage bonuses increase an existing instance of Damage rather than creating a new one. Either:

That being said, if a Power can freely allocate Damage across multiple lands (e.g., "Rumbling Earthquakes"), a bonus that applies the Power as a whole (e.g., "Flame's Fury") can be used to spread Damage across more lands (in this example, dealing Damage in 7 lands rather than 6 lands), which could give Breath of Darkness Down Your Spine a chance to abduct Invaders in more places. This doesn't work for Damage bonuses that only apply in lands where you're already dealing Damage (e.g., Badlands and the Fire Markers of the Intensify Aspect) for the same reason that such bonuses don't help for Powers that deal Damage in only one land.

Note that the "+" before Damage in Power thresholds (e.g., on "Accelerated Rot") is non-functional; that's a separate Damage instruction from the one in the main Power effect, and does give you a second chance to abduct Invaders.
