How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 43.4105. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 450. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 29950.

What it does

Explosion is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 43.4105) in a 45 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
