How it works

Volatile Mortar is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers Volatile Mortar.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 12 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Embers.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). It triggers spell id 64884.

What it does

Volatile Mortar is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 100 yard radius every 0.5 sec. It also casts Volatile Mortar (record #407312) and Embers.

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.
