  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2.3008. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Explosive Trap is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 150 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect and deals Fire damage (base value 2.3008) in a 5 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.
