How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Solar Beam.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). It triggers Solar Beam.

What it does

Solar Beam is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 500 yards. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Solar Beam (record #421934) and Solar Beam (record #422957).
