How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Fire Whirl.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).

What it does

Fire Whirl is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it launches a missile and has a Create Area Effect effect. It also casts Fire Whirl (record #421469).
