How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 200. It scales with 0.071 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Heal (effect type 10). Its base value is 1200. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Holy Nova is a Holy spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Holy damage (base value 200) in a 15 yard radius and heals (base value 1200) in a 15 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.
