How it works

The Emptiness is built from 6 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 93.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 40.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 297.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  6. Effect 6 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 321.

What it does

The Emptiness is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it summons a creature and 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.
