How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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 760. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Unstable Explosion is a Physical spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 760) in a 5 yard radius and kills the target outright.

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.
