Mirror Tentacle VS. Mirror Tentacle (Possible Bug) (Minor Tentacle Card Spoilers, if you care)
When I was doing a run on Kaycee's Mod with a Great Kraken ( from the waterborne deck) and a Mirror Tentacle (picked up later), the Angler took my Kraken-turned-Mirror Tentacle and I subsequently placed a Meal Worm with 2 Power that I sacrificed to play my normal Mirror Tentacle.

Then the numbers for each Mirror Tentacle went up at a relatively quick pace ad infinitum. The pace did not increase as it continued, but it didn't stop until I ended my turn. I waited for a bit, tried doing the F11 screenshot, got a 'could not take a screenshot' prompt from a pop-up log on the bottom-left of the screen, took a manual screenshot via Steam itself, and decided to end my turn when it showed no signs of stopping well past 1500 Power.

I'm hypothesizing that my use of a Meal Worm with 2 Power as my sacrifice, giving the Mirror Tentacle 2 Power IN ADDITION TO the Mirror Effect, made the bug occur. I hope this testimony helps re-create the scenario and provide a means to fix it.

(Note: I'm going to post this now and find out how to attach a screenshot so it's out there. If I can't or I give up, I'll just post the screenshot normally so you can find it through my profile at worst.)

You can see the same thing with the Alpha sigil, 2 mirrors will do this when 1 has a buff as they both try and match each other as they grow forever. It'll probably be fixed eventually but it's not super harmful in the meantime because it's incredibly rare and the worst that happens iirc is that if you let it scale up an obnoxiously long amount of time (like, longer than you would ever spend in 1 fight for sure) it might crash when the number gets too big and upon restart you're at the start of the fight again.

Thanks for the heads up, I just wanted to make sure that the problem was known.
