How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 395.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec. It triggers Overload.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec. It triggers Surge.

What it does

Overload is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Overload (record #396035) and Surge.

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.
