I found a bug... can I keep it?

Grieving Mothers spell list at lvl 9 included this little surprise for me:

Now Im no expert but I get the feeling that Detonate is not supposed to do 11201 Raw Damage.

Which it does:

...with a graze.

 

Its also the only nuke spell at that level for her so... she now has one usable spell since thats just silly.

 

Not a game breaking bug like some of the other ones that Ive managed to avoid with dilligent saving and backtracking, but mildly annoying none the less.

Unless I feel like cheating everything with what I can only assume to be the ingame equivalent of the Godhammer.

Check if her stats haven't gone crazy, this might be the problem

Its not a bug I think, its way to ensure low stamina enemies die with bloodblast FX, only triggered by low stamina.

treat your bug nicely...

My Detonate ability also shows up as dealing over 10,000 points of damage although my numbers don't match the OP's. I don't know what triggers this but could a developer please download this save game and take a look? Thank you.

I also noticed a trap that require level 12 mechanics to disable.

It does 1112 raw damage or something like that, found it on the last levels of endless path and i GUESS its the same kind of bug

[stage]

My main char (which is Cipher) also has the same raw dmg on her Detonate

This is correct.

It says "targets with low Endurance explode" in the description, which is your tip-off that it's an insta-kill spell for them.

[Elth]

Yup, it's an instakill spell, not a bug. Pretty much like the wizard's "Death ring". I guess it's the PoE equivalent of "Symbol, Death" and "Power Word: Death" from Baldur's gate series (instakill on enemies with less than 60hp)

So, what exactly is "low endurance" for this spell?
