How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Weapon % Damage (effect type 31). Its base value is 70.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Rising Flames.

What it does

Fireball is a Fire spell with a 0.3 sec cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals a percentage of weapon damage (base value 70). It also casts Rising Flames.
