Alter the fabric of time, causing the caster to return to their current location, health, mana, buffs, and debuffs, when cast a second time, or after 6 sec.
Effect negated if the caster dies within the 6 sec before the effect occurs or moves too far away.
How it works
Spells that share its cooldown category wait 1 sec after it is cast. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its dispel type is client id 1.
Alter Time is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:
- Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28).
- Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Alter Time.
What it does
Alter Time is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 min cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it summons a creature. It also casts Alter Time (record #110909).
Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
