Steam Blast

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Steam Blast is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it kills the target outright 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.
