What verb is かまされる?


In the first light novel of the Konsuba series there are two pages of
character profiles. In them Kazuma say to Darkness,

> どこかの誰かに爆裂魔法を **かまされた** からな

I am confused as to the meaning and identifying what verb that is. Any ideas?




かます is a slang that can replace almost any transitive verb to make it sound
aggressive and/or vulgar, but with no clear meaning in itself. You can
translate it using a sort of easy formula such as "give (somebody) a hell of
—", but I think there will be indefinite ways of translation according to the
actual situation.

> はったりをかける _make a bluff_ → はったりをかます _make a big fat bluff_
>
> ボケを言う _tell a joke_ → ボケをかます _crack a joke_
>
> ラップを歌う _do a rap_ (lit. "sing") → ラップをかます _bust a rap_

Since かます stands in place of the original verb, we can't know what word were
originally there without context. The most straightforward reading here is
that the magic hit Kazuma in a manner causing some injury, in this case:

> Just because someone **set a fuckin'** explosion magic **on** me.

However, there is also a possibility that Darkness otherwise made a blunder on
magic and Kazuma suffered from it (e.g. loss, blame, etc.) → [_indirect
passive_](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/15933/7810)

Note that どこかの誰か is a fixed phrase sarcastically refers to "you" or "who we
obviously know", as much as one of usage of English _someone_.

Though this slang is technically a definition under
[噛ます](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/44582/meaning/m0u/) "force into; wedge
into", its accent is usually realized かます{LHH} nowadays where the non-slang
accent is かます{LHL}, which is the regular derivation from かむ{HL}
([噛む](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/45040/meaning/m0u/%E5%99%9B%E3%82%80/)).
