Eruption

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1). It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 200. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 23.0795. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Eruption is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it kills the target outright, has a Knock Back effect in an 8 yard radius and deals Fire damage (base value 23.0795) in an 8 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.
