How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Ruin is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect.

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.
