Stacking holds

I have an Ice/Dark corr that im currently planning/building and am curious how the mechanic for hold stacking operates.
Once the build is complete, these are the numbers I should have according to Mids.

Freeze Ray-Mag 3/duration 18.3 sec.
Bitter freeze ray-mag3/duration 18 sec.
Petrifying gaze-mag3/duration 11.8 sec.

If i should apply all 3 holds on a target does that in effect grant me a total of a Mag 9 hold?Also, is the duration concurrent or consecutive?ie.. a total of 48.1 seconds of total hold duration?
Thanks in advance.

Yep, it'd be a magnitude 9.00 hold. Unfortunately, the timers are all kept track of individually, so Petrifying Gaze will wear off well before the other two.

Yes

Concurrent

Each power applys it's own duration, for example using all 3 would be like this>

Freeze Ray-Mag 3/duration 18.3 sec.
Bitter freeze ray-mag3/duration 18 sec.
Petrifying gaze-mag3/duration 11.8 sec.

Petrifying gaze would last 11.8 seconds then wear off, leaving you with mag 6
Bitter freeze ray would wear off about 6 seconds later, reducing to mag 3
and finally freeze ray would wear off .3 seconds later.

Of course with activation times it'd be quite different, but thats just an example
