Explodes with arcane power, dealing 720 to 880 arcane damage.

How it works

Each cast of Core Overload costs 15 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Core Overload is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 720. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 81. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.

What it does

Core Overload is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 720) in an 8 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in an 8 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
