How it works

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Flamestrike is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 20) in an 8 yard radius and has a Create Area Effect effect in an 8 yard radius.
