Caster unleashes its amazing brain power in a psychic storm, inflicting 3 Arcane damage to all players and manifesting psychic tempests at each player's location, inflicting 10 Arcane damage to any players hit and silencing them.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 25. Its area radius is 2.5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Brainstorm is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 25) in a 2.5 yard radius 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.
