How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Goblin Mortar.
  2. Effect 2 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It scales with 1 times spell power. It triggers The Mortar: Reloaded.

What it does

Goblin Mortar is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it teaches a spell. It also casts Goblin Mortar (record #12716) and The Mortar: Reloaded.

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.
