How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Arcane Burst is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 9000. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 27. It applies the silenced mechanic. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Arcane Burst is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Arcane damage (base value 9000) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura with the silenced mechanic in a 15 yard radius. The client files the whole spell under the silenced mechanic.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
