How it works

Hand of Ragnaros is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 87.5. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 5.8692. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Hand of Ragnaros is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 10 yard radius, has a Knock Back effect in a 10 yard radius and deals Fire damage (base value 5.8692) in a 10 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.

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.
