Is anyone else amused by these? Most of the attack lines in Lusternia are very well-written and match up pretty well with their effects. However... there are a few that make you wonder if maybe the designers wrote the lines before they figured out what the attack would actually do.
The above attack deals... about 300 damage and epilepsy.
Same for that one, but gives ablaze.
Deals mediocre damage and gives dysentery (useless, cured with choleric).
HORROR! Good thing I can cure it with a single mending application.
Any other especially blatant ones you can think of?

Moonburst against a trans Magic, proofed robe, Furrikin Moondancer?

I've always thought the message for dying to egovice/manabarbs was overly exciting, where their heads explode and their necks jet flames. Something like that.

I don't think the third and fourth are particularily bad. That's more a problem of the IRE healing system being quite frankly ridiculous. (Oh noes, I have lost all limbs and have several mental and physical ailments. SIP ALLHEALE!)
As for the second, it seems in no way accurate to the damage you're given.
As for the first... too many run-on sentences.

Personally, I enjoy exploding heads. Very satisfying.

Agreed. If someone has this message I'd actually really like to see it

Pretty much every other monk afflict line falls into this category.

I'm not a combatant and I don't think any of my characters ever will be, but one thing I like about reading combat logs is the attack messages. They're just fun.
