Fire spell.

Detonation

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 450. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Detonation is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 450) in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
