How it works

It works on charges (charge category 2045); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here.

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Arcane Orb is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 2.5 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
