:You attack ... leading off with the Nutcracker's signature headbutt, you daze your foe ... you take aim and fire, scoring 11 bull's eyes in a row. Assuming you're fighting a bull. Since you probably aren't, you get 11 shoggoth's eyes. Ouch. After being shot for 187 + 2 + 187 damage, they're not looking so good.

The interesting thing is that that resulting sonic damage was equal to the physical damage as the target was a shoggoth which is resistant to all forms of damage. So either the sonic damage is equal to the physical damage and not impacted by resistances or the sonic damage is double the physical damage and impacted by resistances. I'll see what results with future uses. --[[User:Valmo|Valmo]] 22:07, 31 December 2011 (PST)

Used versus clockwork mishmash and while it isn't physically immune it was still helpful. The bonus sonic damage is determined before resistances are applied. The crucial thing now is if the thunder or lightning result is random or predetermined. I've only observed lightning against things that were easy kills to start. All uses in the dreamer's clock areas and the castle have resulted in thunder. --Valmo 18:31, 2 January 2012 (PST)
