Angelic Bond

I started thinking about different Paragon Elites and their uses when I came to this.

So... say you have 4 Paragons, A, B, C, and D.

Situation 1:
B casts Angelic Bond on A.
C casts Angelic Bond on B.
D casts Angelic Bond on C.
A casts Angelic Bond on D.
A takes 100 damage.

Does B take 50, which is split to 25 because of C?
Does C take 25, which is rounded up to 13 because of D?
Does D take 12, which is split to 6 because of A?
Does A take an additional 6, which is split to 3?
Does B take 3, which is rounded up to 2?
Does C take 1, at which point the chain ends? Or would that 1 be rounded up so that D takes 1 damage and C takes 0, but A would take 1 and D takes 0, and so on and so forth?
Or does Angelic Bond not split damage from another Angelic bond, which would've ended the chain at D?

Situation 2:
B casts Angelic Bond on A.
C casts Angelic Bond on A.
D casts Angelic Bond on A.
A takes 100 damage.

Does B, C, and D each take 13 damage, and 1/8 of the damage, rounded up, while A takes 61 damage? Or would they take the 50 damage split between them each, which would be 17 damage, rounded up?

The best I can reason is:

Situation 1:
B would take 50 damage, C and D would take none. I don't think Angelic Bond will split damage of another Angelic Bond.

Situation 2:
You can't have more than one instance of a status on at a time. I believe whoever the last person to cast Angelic Bond on paragon A would replace all those before him. So in this situation D would take 50 damage and B and C would take none.

I can't say for sure, as I havn't gone out and tested it, but in my experience this is how it would work out.

I've tested the chain and it seem that the chain end if the "angelic bond damage" you take is less than 10.

For Situation 1 :
B take 50/2 with C (25 each)
C take 25/2 with D (12 on C and 13 on D)
D take 13/2 with A (6 on C and 7 on A)
7 < 10 and came from a Angelic bond ---> Stop de chain
