How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 200. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Arcane Detonation is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it kills the target outright and deals Arcane damage (base value 200) in a 20 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.
