How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is 50.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.

What it does

Metamorphosis is a spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 5 sec cooldown and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
