Afflicted Soul Explosion

Afflicted Soul Explosion is caused whenever an Afflicted creature dies. The effect is similar to a Death Nova in that it strikes adjacent foes for damage, but, unlike Death Nova, it does not poison its targets. It's also important to note that the explosion does not destroy the corpse.

The damage caused by the Explosion is proportional to the monster's level. A low level Afflicted will explode for 40+ damage, while a level 24 Afflicted will explode for over 140 damage. This is especially painful with Afflicted bosses because they deal double damage as bosses and high damage because of their level. The damage type is cold damage.
