Back to Start

How it works

Back to Start is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 260.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Back to Start.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Back to Start is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Back to Start (record #266297).

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.
