ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

The description of flameshock says:

... and be STUNNED for ....

and the description for backstab says:


... against STUNNED targets; .... will have a ##% greater chance of being critical.

but a creature dealt damage by flameshock is not currently STUNNED, but has BURNING SHOCK.

Is there synergy between these two abilities? The description seems to suggest so, but I'm concerned that it might not in fact be the case.

I suspect not, since flameshock is its own effect.

Flameshock counts as a stun effect.

So yes then, the two abilities synergise.
