Void Orb

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 5 sec. It triggers Void Orb.

What it does

Void Orb is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it has a Create Area Effect effect and applies an aura every 5 sec. It also casts Void Orb (record #264908).

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.
