How it works

Engineering is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Engineering.
  2. Effect 2 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Engineering.
  3. Effect 3 is Skill Step (effect type 44). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Engineering is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it teaches a spell and has a Skill Step effect. It also casts Engineering (record #4036) and Engineering (record #264475).

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.
