Karthus Passive: Q gets interrupted moment before disappearing

I'm putting it into gameplay because I'm not sure If it's bug. I'd not say so.

Karthus' Q says he detonates an area after delay. If I understand it well, that means it's not a channel. It has cast time, but you can do other things before it bursts. So once you give command to cast it, it should be casted. And yet If you cast it while on your Passive moment before disappearing, while you can see it is going to be casted by starting animation, it gets interrupted and the area doesn't burst. It starts glowing like about to burst but won't proceed.

The only thing that comes to mind is that it still was on cast-time and as you disappeared it got interrupted. But sometimes it really looks weird like it should have been laid. Is this right or does anybody else feel like it's a little inconsistent? I'm really not sure with this.

You are probably casting it outside the cast range while you are in you passive, if you do this it will glow and then burst at the maximum cast distance in that direction. It can be pretty useful because the initial animation doesn't start where it is going to burst until it is too late, makes for some fun plays. I main Karthus so if you have any other questions just ask!

No, it happens where I command it, it glows within the range except for it doesn't finish. Karthus disappears once Passive runs out and the glowing area won't burst, just stop glowing.
