Launches magical missiles at an enemy, inflicting Arcane damage every 0.4 sec. for 2 sec.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.4 sec, 5 times over the full 2 sec. It triggers Arcane Missiles.
