How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 25.
  3. Effect 3 is Interrupt Cast (effect type 68).

What it does

Malfunction is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1.5 sec. When cast it applies an aura and interrupts spellcasting.

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.
