How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 80.6195. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -70. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Blast Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 80.6195) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura in a 15 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the snared mechanic.

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.
