How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 455.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Arcane Vortex is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura and 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.
