Explosion

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Explosion is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 315. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Quiet Suicide.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Explosion is a Physical spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 315) in a 5 yard radius. It also casts Quiet Suicide.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70003. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
