Unintended multiple hits of crushing despair

[AirbornedChild]

Hello, just was killed with a SINGLE crushing despair spell, cast by wight in tomb of tormented. It had extra damage as evil. So, guess, how does despair works?
YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!

It hits multiple times.

2 party members with 500 hp died of 1 spell. Paladin with 100 MRR got down from 700 to 200. Same with bearbarians.

HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO EXIST?!

I first saw that with web, that could damage you, when you go through it. And now this, even WORSE!!!

It must be fixed for sure.
Extra damage from non-damaging spells should never be applied. Also, there are other spells with multiple hit/portions.

For sure, applying damage to non-damaging spells is totally nonsense!!!

PS A little addition. I got hit by 5, so sum is 500. Pal, i think, got hit by more, 6 or 7 times.
Also, to clarify: it was elite run, not reaper.
