How it works

Each cast of Arcane Blast costs 150 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Arcane Blast is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 110. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 3403. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Arcane Blast is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Knock Back effect in a 15 yard radius and deals Arcane damage (base value 3403) in a 15 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
