Question about PL9 Cipher Spell

[Sir Davion]

So the Shred Spell Death of 1000 Cuts says: Target when damaged 31 raw damage.

 

If i shot a target with this debuff with a blunderbuss and all 5 bullets hit does that mean he gets 5x31 raw damage and the duration gets increased by 50s  ?

The description says that you need to inflict damage via a Shred power in order for the target to get affected by another instance of 1000 Cuts DoT.

Oh bummer. CohhCarnage Screenshots only showed the upper part of the skill description.
