Its own rules

A cursor hops at random between every living unit of both sides: 39 hops over 282 ticks, each faster than the last. The unit where it stops takes twice the spell’s power as fire damage, and every other unit within 50 px takes the power.

Power at cast

Before the target’s element and defenses. Each value is the game’s own formula.
