How it works

Sonic Boom is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 20.806. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68). It applies the interrupted mechanic. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Sonic Boom is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 35 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 20.806) in a 30 yard radius and interrupts spellcasting with the interrupted mechanic in a 30 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.
