How it works

Astral Grasp is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (32 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  3. Effect 3 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Astral Grasp is a Shadow spell with a 4 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec, has a Create Area Effect effect and applies an aura.

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.
