Orb of Corruption

How it works

Orb of Corruption is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 20 yards. It triggers System Override.
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28). Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Orb of Corruption is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it launches a missile in a 20 yard radius and summons a creature in a 20 yard radius. It also casts System Override.

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.
