Force Nova

Tooltip

Imperator Mar'gok releases a nova of Arcane energy that inflicts 6.2961 Arcane damage every 0.2 sec. to all players within the nova's area of effect.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Force Nova.

What it does

Force Nova is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 13 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect. It also casts Force Nova (record #157325).

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.
