How it works

Fire Nova is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 46.159. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 35 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 162.5. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 35 yards.

What it does

Fire Nova is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 46.159) in a 35 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 35 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.
