How it works

Consuming Sphere is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  3. Effect 3 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  4. Effect 4 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Consuming Sphere is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 0.3 sec. When cast it 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.
