How it works

Writhing Sands is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 50 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28).

What it does

Writhing Sands is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 min. When cast it summons a creature.
