Circle of Thunder hurts with the Electricity perk

[abstinent turtle]

I was playing and noticed that I was getting shocked sometimes from my own spell. This was rather odd because I had the perk Electricity. After some investigation I discovered that I was only getting shocked by all the Circle of Thunders that needed to be loaded back into memory. Every time I left an area and then came back to it later or saved and quit and then continued, the old Circle of Thunders were able to shock and damage me. I was even able to summon in new Circle of Thunders right next to the old ones and they worked properly and the others did not. I am confident that it is doing electric damage because I became stunned and the electric shock animation was happening to my character.

Here is a screenshot of my game where you can clearly see me having the Electricity perk and taking about 10 damage from my own Circle of Thunder, and the shock animation currently happening:

What I find so strange about this bug is that somehow the perk is selectively letting electric damage through. I would imagine that there would be a function that preforms a damage check and that when you get the Electricity perk it would just ignore all electric type damage passed into it. However, this doesn't seem to be the case as I receive electric type damage but only some of the time. Does the game just tell every spell and electric pixel when it is created to not send electric damage to you when you receive the perk and when it gets culled from memory somehow this property isn't saved?

Anyway, I am about to loose a several hour long daily run because I fell into one of the old Circle of Thunders and I can't get out despite having blanket electric immunity :(

Update: It did kill me.
Here is my death:

I know this is an old post, but I recently lost a several-day run to circle of thunder and had no clue why. Your post is the only one discussing this bug. It would've been infuriating to lose all that progress and not even know why.

For my situation, it wasn't even an old instance of circle of thunder. I shot it as part of a spark bolt with trigger payload and jumped into it expecting nothing to happen because I had been using it for several hours up to that point. I was shocked, no pun intended. I had basically reached the point in the game in which I could buff my spells to do millions of damage and thought I'd try out circle of thunder, since I've never actually used it before and generally find circle of stillness more useful.

Of course, I'm very well aware of friendly fire-enabled skills in Noita, so I made sure to check the Wiki to confirm that this skill was safe to use. Based on all of the information provided, I never, in a million years would've guessed it'd kill me. I also had electricity immunity, like you. The worst part is that you don't get a snapshot of your wand loadout when you die, so I started to doubt my own memory, wondering if I put piercing in my wand by mistake. Needless to say, it's going on my backlist along with venomous curse for bugged spells. I'm never using it again.

Thanks for sharing this bug!
