Supernova

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 20 times over the full 4 sec. It triggers Supernova.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 20 times over the full 4 sec. It triggers Supernova.

What it does

Supernova is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.2 sec. It also casts Supernova (record #1253069) and Supernova (record #1253071).

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.
