How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 100 yards. It triggers Throw Skull Event.

What it does

Throw Skull is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius. It also casts Throw Skull Event.

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.
