How it works

Ancient Arts is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 15.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 50.

What it does

Ancient Arts is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
