Tooltip

Harnesses electrical currents around the caster to create a magnetic field that grows in power the longer it is channeled. Creatures caught in the area of effect are pulled toward the caster. Players of the caster suffer 19.4204 Nature damage every 1 seconds.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 20 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Magnetic Field.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Magnetic Field is a spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Magnetic Field (record #120101).

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.
