Advisor Vandros brands a player with unstable energy that marks their current location every 0.5 sec for 8 sec. After 1.5 sec, the marked location explodes inflicting 39.1829 Arcane damage to all players.

How it works

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

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 16 times over the full 8 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 25. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Unstable Mana is an Arcane spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 3 sec cooldown and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 0.5 sec and applies an aura in a 100 yard radius.

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.
