How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 450.
  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100.

What it does

Maelstrom is a Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 450) and has a Knock Back effect.

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.
