How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1152); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 58.2973. Its area radius is 200 yards.
