The curator dispenses forbidden knowledge at random locations, inflicting 40 Arcane damage to players within 5 yards and disorienting them for 4 sec.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 3 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Forbidden Knowledge.

What it does

Forbidden Knowledge is an Arcane spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Forbidden Knowledge (record #371357).

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.
