How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Metamorphosis is built from 7 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 500. Its area radius is 6 yards.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 133. Its base value is 50.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 40.
  6. Effect 6 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 75.
  7. Effect 7 is Jump to Destination (effect type 42). Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 20 yards. It triggers Demonic Leap.

What it does

Metamorphosis is a Fire and Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 1 min cooldown and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura, deals Fire and Shadow damage (base value 500) in a 6 yard radius and makes the caster jump to a location up to 20 yards. It also casts Demonic Leap.

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.
