Tremorstones

So current iteration of T-stones at 14 Evocations one-shots stone giants, quicksilver dragons, liches and almost one-shots caustic shrikes, not to mention the assorted popcorn. It also deals about 20 hp worth of damage at most to a AC29 character, usually less. Is it working as intended? Seems a bit too strong, especially considering it's an item, that only heavy armour users would want, and I'm not sure they need a such a strong AoE tool at all.
Edit: At 16 Evocations it one-shots electric golems, ancient liches and fiends, two-shots gold dragons, also managed to "one-shot" an orb of fire after blasting it with acid once.
In fact the DPS was higher than +9 trishula with 40 str at min-delay. Felt a like heavy armour user version of fire storm.
Side-note, positioning doesn't seem to matter much in practice, since AoE is huge and the item is spammable, and characters for whom self-damage might be an issue mostly wouldn't want to use the item at all.
