How it works

Self Destruct is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Send Explosion Trigger to Nearby Rocks.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 7 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56. Its base value is 1000.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 93, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Self Destruct is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 7 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 40) in a 7 yard radius and applies an aura. It also casts Send Explosion Trigger to Nearby Rocks.

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.
