How it works

Sand Breath is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 396.5. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 138. Its base value is -100. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 20 yards.

What it does

Sand Breath is an Arcane spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 396.5) in a 20 yard radius and applies an aura in a 20 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.
