Summon Skeletons

How it works

Summon Skeletons is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 1 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1.5. Its area radius is 1 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Summon (effect type 28). Its base value is 1. Its area radius is 1 yards.

What it does

Summon Skeletons is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 min. When cast it summons a creature in a 1 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.
