How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Missile (effect type 32). Its area radius is 10 yards. It triggers Torch.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Torch.

What it does

Torch is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it launches a missile in a 10 yard radius. It also casts Torch (record #174516) and Torch (record #174512).

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.
