How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 12 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 500. Its area radius is 12 yards.

What it does

Arcane Detonation is an Arcane spell with a 3 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 500) in a 12 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
