How it works

Eruption is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 14. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 120. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. Its area radius is 6 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (32 base in total).

What it does

Eruption is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 14) in a 6 yard radius, has a Knock Back effect in a 6 yard radius and applies an aura in a 6 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
