How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Molten Eruption is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. Its area radius is 15 yards. It ticks every 2 sec, 6 times over the full 12 sec (30 base in total).

What it does

Molten Eruption is a Fire spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 15 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 30) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura in a 15 yard radius every 2 sec.

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.
