Arcane Orb

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 20. Its base value is 100 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (500 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Arcane Projection.

What it does

Arcane Orb is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Arcane Projection.

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.
