Overload

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It triggers Overload.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It triggers Seeping Void.

What it does

Overload is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Overload (record #1263526) and Seeping Void.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 88 separate Spell records named "Overload". This page is record #1268832. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
