Inflicts 24 Fire damage to all players, plus an additional 4 Fire damage every 1 sec for 12 sec.

How it works

Unstable Explosion is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 24. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec (48 base in total).

What it does

Unstable Explosion is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 24) in a 100 yard radius and applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 1 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.
