How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 22.3254. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 9.9224 per tick. It scales with 0.33 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (29.77 base in total).

What it does

Fireball is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 22.3254) and applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.
