I am a bit confused by it. On Dredmorpedia it says that Mummies have a 15% chance to cast Corpus Burst, which does 20. But Corpus Burst itself also says that it deals an additional thing called Corpse Blast, which does 10. So does this mean both of them go off or just one for a mummy? (if it's both: wow i had no idea they were that scary)
Each spell does only one damage packet (which can be multiple types), but spells frequently call other spells! In the case of Corpse Burst, the square containing the targeted corpse takes 20 damage, and the 8 squares around it take 10. These two damage packets are controlled by two different spells. Voila!
That makes sense. So that's why I've never been killed by it except for once or twice when I was low, but today when it was cast right on top of my hero I died from taking 30+ damage. Thanks!
