How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1.5 sec. It triggers Unstable Core.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Unstable Core 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 every 1.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Unstable Core (record #1231250).

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.
