How it works

  2. Effect 2 is Power Burn (effect type 62). Its base value is 15. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. It applies the fleeing mechanic. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Insanity Bomb is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 50) in a 10 yard radius, burns a resource on the target (base value 15) in a 10 yard radius, applies an aura with the fleeing mechanic in a 10 yard radius and launches a missile. It also casts Insanity Bomb (record #307564).

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.
