Explosion

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its area radius is 16 yards. It ticks every 0.3 sec. It triggers Explosion.

What it does

Explosion is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 0.4 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 16 yard radius every 0.3 sec. It also casts Explosion (record #75536).

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.
