Unstable Explosion

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 1020. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1).

What it does

Unstable Explosion is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1020) in an 8 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.
