How it works

Source of Magic is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 56.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 72. Its base value is -75.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 65. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Source of Magic is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. 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.
