Hex

How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Hex is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5.
Effect 3 is effect type 108, which the datamine does not name. It applies the polymorphed mechanic.

What it does

Hex is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the polymorphed mechanic.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 76 separate Spell records named "Hex". This page is record #126345. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
