Hex

How it works

Hex is built from 2 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.

What it does

Hex is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 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.

Raw client values from the current retail game build. Where the game data carries no name for an id, the id is shown as is.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 76 separate Spell records named "Hex". This page is record #150037. 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.
