How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 300. Its area radius is 12 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Surge.

What it does

Surge is a Physical spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 300) in a 12 yard radius. It also casts Surge (record #302718).

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.
