How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Arcane Barrier is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 100000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 77.

What it does

Arcane Barrier is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
