It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Unstable Magic is built from 6 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Unstable Magic.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Unstable Magic.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Unstable Magic.
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Unstable Magic.
  5. Effect 5 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Unstable Magic.
  6. Effect 6 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Unstable Magic.

What it does

Unstable Magic is an Arcane spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 3 sec cooldown. It also casts Unstable Magic (record #216996) and Unstable Magic (record #217001).
