Nether Rift

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 128.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 472.

What it does

Nether Rift is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 6 sec. 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.
