How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Spawn (effect type 46).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 93.

What it does

Cosmetic is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it has a Spawn 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.
