Summons a Whirling Cyclone.

How it works

Whirling Winds is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28). Its area radius is 2 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 2 yards.

What it does

Whirling Winds is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it summons a creature in a 2 yard radius and leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 2 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.
