How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Inscription.
  2. Effect 2 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Inscription.
  3. Effect 3 is Skill Step (effect type 44). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Inscription is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it teaches a spell and has a Skill Step effect. It also casts Inscription (record #45357) and Inscription (record #264494).

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 14 separate Spell records named "Inscription". This page is record #264495. 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.
