Explode, destroying the Student and causing 237500 to 262500 Shadow damage to all enemies.

How it works

Explode is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 237500. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Explode is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 237500) in an 8 yard radius and kills the target outright.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70268. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
