Activating

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Effect 1 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Solar Portal.

What it does

Activating is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 10 sec cooldown. It also casts Solar Portal.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
