Grants 1 Arcane Charge when cast and every time it deals damage.

How it works

Arcane Orb is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 2.432 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 1.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.

What it does

Arcane Orb is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Arcane damage and restores a resource (base value 1).

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.
