Iron maiden vs melee

I can't find this anywhere so i thought i'd start a topic about it. I was wondering what the damage is that is returned when oblivs cast Iron Maiden on one of my poor melee chars.

Mostly the lvl of spells used by monsters is something like monsterlvl / 4 but i sure hope this isn't the case with IM.
In pvp the IM damage is reduced to 10% of the actual damage. I think this is also the case with MvP. So for example, IM curse causes 500% damage to be returned, then this is reduced to 50% (still a lot). If i would deal 2k damage i would recieve 1k myself.

When i deal 100 damage i would recieve 50 damage. I seem to remember that hitting with very low damage weapons doesn't instanat kill you so this could about be right.

What about normal/nm/hell? Critical strike?
Anyone know if this is true or someone know the exact numbers?

kind regards,

A zealot

It's divided by 4 AFAICT vs players, and also against "other", which is problably minions/non-normal monsters.

Oblivion Knights cast Slvl 3 Iron Maiden in normal, Slvl 6 in NM, and Slvl 10 in hell. That's for players 62%, 81% and 106% respectively.

so it's roughly 26% returned in PvP at lvl 10, correct?

so say, my Necro has 2500 life and a Barb WW's me while IMed and does 2000 dmg to me, he will have done about 600 dmg to himself, at which point 1 good Spirit/Spear/Teeth attack should end things quite quickly
