Ancient Ward

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Ward of Power.

What it does

Ancient Ward is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 500 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Ward of Power.

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.
