Alter Time

How it works

Alter Time is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Spawn (effect type 46).
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Alter Time is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Spawn effect.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 23 separate Spell records named "Alter Time". This page is record #347402. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
