Celestial Mathematics, Heartbound loop, and triggered minions causing damage through ward.

Hi, think I may have found a bug.

Setup: Need to have enough flask charges gained on iron flask to ensure that when ward breaks, iron flasks recharge to full to instantly refresh ward.

Interaction I'm assuming is as follows:

- When ward breaks, cast on ward break triggers summon skeleton, which summons 4 skeletons at level 21.
- At max skeletons of 8, each summon skeleton will replace a previous skeleton, causing 4 instances of minion death.
- Heartbound loop causes minion death to deal damage to you, this breaks ward.
- When ward breaks, iron flask gains enough charges to refresh ward, causing ward to be refreshed. This means ward cannot break from the self damage.



So the bug comes from you attacking with Celestial mathematics keystone allocated, causing your attack to break ward. This will actually make you take life damage. This should not be possible, as ward never breaks.

I tested casting a spell (Forbidden rite) to break ward, and no life damage was taken. I tested casting summon skeletons directly, and no life damage was taken.

I tested Celestial mathematics to trigger other minions through cast on ward break too, and they all cause life loss. The more minions summoned, the more life was lost.

I tried using other trigger skills (eg. storm secret, scold's bridle) to trigger summon minions. All of which did not cause any life loss.

Thus I believe this bug has something to do with the interaction between Celestial mathematics keystone and minions dying through summoning while at max minion.
