I have nor currently gotten a capture klling them with sbol but an working on it....
You cam see that direball did 47+79+50 whixh is only 176 points of damage....
unless the 2 extra messages on the last round are being added together ?
With sbol I have seen the ice golems taking over 340 points of damage to die...
something is not quite right here

This falls back to an issue that's been a problem for awhile here.  It's a matter of spells showing you one amount of damage and doing more (or less) damage to the target based on the targets DR, MR, and resistances.  What you see is the amount before any of that is taken into consideration.
