Hex

How it works

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

Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its base value is 3.
Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Clear Auras.

What it does

Hex is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Clear Auras.

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 #278809. 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.
