Explodes, inflicting 35000 Fire damage to enemies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 41577. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35000. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Explosion is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 35000) in a 50000 yard radius.

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.
