How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 2000.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Metamorphosis.

What it does

Metamorphosis is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Metamorphosis (record #1227107).

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.
