How it works

Arcane Orb is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 2 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Arcane Orb is an Arcane spell with a 1.5 sec cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect in a 2 yard radius.

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.
