The audio for Bluetooth is on WiFi? My Bluetooth earbuds did work normally.

The audio for bluetooth comes from the CPU, there is zero analog component to bluetooth audio untill it hits the recieving device.

 

The bluetooth radio is usually combined with the WiFi radio.

so... i plugged my 2013 MacBook pro into a mixer and left phantom power on. It caused a spark while plugging in the jack and now all my audio outputs and inputs including internal speakers and headphone jack have disappeared from not just system settings but audio MIDI as well. Did i just kill my MacBook or is this a software issue?

You killed the audio codec / sound chip. Maybe more. 

It can be replaced but you'd have to send the laptop to someone like Louis Rossmann as he and his people do board level repair (Apple just replaces board and charges you loads of money) https://rossmanngroup.com/

If you don't have the money for it or can't stay without your laptop for a while, try a usb sound card.

I just got Bluetooth working but nothing else. Is Bluetooth on a separate chip?

Yes, it is built into the WiFi.
