How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 9425. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Explosion is a Frost spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Frost damage (base value 9425) in a 30 yard radius and has a Knock Back effect in a 30 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.
