Lets the Paragon class buy Runeforging from the Character Advancement
panel and apply rune enchants from anywhere in the world without needing
to be near a runeforge GameObject. Three carve-outs work together:
* Spell.cpp: bypass the SpellFocusObject GO proximity check when the
caster is a Paragon and the spell belongs to SKILL_RUNEFORGING (776).
Stock DK behaviour is unchanged -- the bypass is gated on
getClass() == CLASS_PARAGON, not on the IsClass() context hook.
* Player.cpp: skip the Paragon class-skill cascade block for skill 776
so the rune-enchant SLA cascade actually fires. Without this the
player gets the Runeforging skill but no rune options at the anvil.
* Paragon_Essence.cpp:
- Treat SKILL_RUNEFORGING children as a meta-skill cluster: cascade
them like passives even though they're active casts, so they stick
as panel_spell_children and get cleaned up via the standard refund
path.
- Whitelist the 8 basic rune-enchants in PruneSkillLineCascadeChildren
so they don't get evicted as "active in children = legacy garbage".
- Force-attach them in PanelLearnSpellChain (the SLA rows ship with
AcquireMethod=0, so the engine cascade alone won't grant them).
- Add an OnPlayerLogin fixup so existing Paragons who bought
Runeforging before this change get the 8 runes retro-granted.
- Stop filtering SPELL_ATTR0_DO_NOT_DISPLAY in PushSpellSnapshot --
Runeforging itself is hidden in the DBC but is a real panel
purchase that must show in the Overview tab.
The two advanced runes (Stoneskin Gargoyle, Nerubian Carapace) are
intentionally excluded from the auto-grant -- retail gates them behind
heroic dungeon / raid item drops and the SLA AcquireMethod=0 honours
that gating.
No SQL migration needed; works against existing DBC + SLA data.

mod-paragon
Server-side support module for the custom CLASS_PARAGON (id 12).
What it does today
Hooks Player::IsClass / Player::HasActivePowerType so Paragon
inherits Death Knight ability mechanics where it matters:
- Rune system:
InitRunes, rune cooldown tick, runic power regen,Spell::CheckRuneCost/Spell::TakeRunePower,SMSG_RESYNC_RUNEScast flags, combat exit grace reset. - DK ability scripts:
spell_dk_*,MUST_BE_DEATH_KNIGHTcast result, DK aura effects.
It is intentionally narrow: the hook only fires for
(realClass == PARAGON, queriedClass == DEATH_KNIGHT, context == CLASS_CONTEXT_ABILITY).
Other DK-flavored contexts (Ebon Hold teleport gating, heroic start
level, DK-only taxi mount, talent point math on Ebon Hold, etc.) keep
their normal behavior for Paragon.
HasActivePowerType additionally claims POWER_RUNIC_POWER and
POWER_RUNE for Paragon, which keeps the rune pool sized correctly
in Player::InitStatsForLevel even if Paragon's primary power type is
later switched away from runic power.
Building
Auto-detected by modules/CMakeLists.txt (GetModuleSourceList globs
every subdirectory). No additional CMake plumbing is needed; rebuild
the worldserver image and the loader symbol Addmod_paragonScripts
gets linked into the static modules target.
SQL layout
SQL files live under data/sql/db-world/base/ and
data/sql/db-characters/base/ — the standard AzerothCore module path
that the built-in DBUpdater scans (see
src/server/database/Updater/UpdateFetcher.cpp). Files placed there
are applied automatically by worldserver / dbimport on startup and
recorded by hash in the updates table of the target database, so
re-runs are idempotent. Any new SQL added under those directories will
be picked up on the next container/server start without manual import.
