The unstable spell failed, stunning the caster for 5 sec and damaging all nearby allies for 20 Fire damage.

How it works

Magma Blast is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Magma Torrent.

What it does

Magma Blast is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura and has a Knock Back effect in a 20 yard radius. It also casts Magma Torrent.

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.
