How it works

Wild Magic is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 8 times over the full 4 sec. It triggers Wild Magic.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 8 times over the full 4 sec. It triggers Wild Magic.

What it does

Wild Magic is an Arcane spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec. It also casts Wild Magic (record #216097) and Wild Magic (record #216105).

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.
