How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 13200. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 18 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 333. It scales with 1 times spell power.

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 13200) in an 18 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect.
