Self confusion from rune of perplexity
pretty sure basilisks laser attacks gives you confusion
No, Basilisks only inflict Petrified and Immobilized.
According to the wiki, there are certain traits can bug when you are hit by the basilisk’s beam causing you do apply that damage to yourself. I don’t know if it’s the same as your issue here, but it could be.

“Should your character have Traits equipped that refer to stunning or interrupting they’ll be triggered by the Petrifying Beam. For example: Chaotic Interruption or Distracting Strikes both will work against you.”
Ah I see, that sounds more likely rather than the runes. Thanks for the info.
