How it works

Arcane Bombardment 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, 8 times over the full 8 sec. It triggers Arcane Bombardment.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 15.

What it does

Arcane Bombardment is an Arcane spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Arcane Bombardment (record #472734).

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.
