How it works

Each cast of Starshards costs 500 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 500 per tick. It scales with 0.167 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (3000 base in total).

What it does

Starshards is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
