[1.4.2] Sphere of Destruction doing 372 million damage

No, that's not hyperbole.

I'm not entirely sure what happened, aside from my character being instagibbed out of nowhere. The Void Horror was already like 10-15 turns dead, even.

I assume this is a bug?

... I think -- I think this is the most hilariously appropriate bug yet, especially if you mentally associate Sphere of Destruction with Sphere of Annihilation from D&D.

there was the shiny helmet used while anti-magical...
there was "thread the needle"...

and now there is this.

what's next? 30 turn long virulent disease? oh wait... that did happen.

I presume this was the anomaly.
I can't see anything obviously wrong with the code.

yeah, I wish I had more information on what happened, aside from that I killed a Void Horror, killed a few other things, and then took a few steps and was chatting with The Eidolon.

Edit: Possibly some way for the void horror to have gotten an absurd amount of paradox? Is the paradox value stored as an unsigned decimal (as unsigned ints don't exist in LUA, apparently?) in memory and it rolled over? Or maybe buffer overflow?

Well the anomaly would have been triggered by its death, so that might have upset it.
