Explode, destroying the Ghoul and causing 25.6937 Shadow damage to all enemies.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 25.6937. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 0, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 25. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Explode is a Shadow spell with a 5 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 25.6937) in an 8 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.
