How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 20 yards. It triggers Firebolt.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Firebolt is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it launches a missile in a 20 yard radius. It also casts Firebolt (record #220159).

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.
