How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 5.2 times spell power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 2.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.

What it does

Arcane Surge is an Arcane spell with a 2.5 sec cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Arcane damage in an 8 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.
