* In Early Access Patch 9, there is a bugged interaction between '''Hex''' and the [[Eldritch Invocation]] {{SAI|Agonising Blast}}, which causes '''Agonising Blast''' bonus damage to be applied an extra time for each instance of '''Hex''' damage.
** In the case of a level 5 Warlock with two Eldritch Blast beams, this means Agonising Blast damage will be applied a total of '''4 times''', if both beams hit: once for each beam, and once for each instance of Hex damage.
