How it works

Arcane Missiles is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec. It triggers Arcane Missiles.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Arcane Missiles is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Arcane Missiles (record #99283).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
