Destruction

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Dispel (effect type 38). It triggers Felflame Orb.

What it does

Destruction is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it dispels effects. It also casts Felflame Orb.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 27 separate Spell records named "Destruction". This page is record #180399. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
