How it works

Volcanic Shield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Volcanic Shield.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 48. Its area radius is 60 yards.

What it does

Volcanic Shield is a Fire and Nature spell with an instant cast and a range of 150 yards. When cast it deals Fire and Nature damage (base value 48) in a 60 yard radius. It also casts Volcanic Shield (record #401867).

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.
