How it works

Magma Wave is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its base value is 50. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Magma Wave is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 45 yards and effects that last 27 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect in a 5 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.
