  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Fireball is a Fire spell with an instant cast and an unlimited range.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70576. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
