Tentacle

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Spawn (effect type 46).

What it does

Tentacle is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and has a Spawn effect.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 7 separate Spell records named "Tentacle". This page is record #201178. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page.
