How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 332. Its base value is 212801.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Shimmer is an Arcane spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.

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.
