How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Detonate is a Fire spell with a 4 sec cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 30) in a 6 yard radius and kills the target outright.

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.
