Deals Fire damage to nearby enemies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Detonation is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage in a 10 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.
