How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Instakill (effect type 1). Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Overload is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it kills the target outright in a 50000 yard radius.

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.
