Server-side cross-class wildcard pass for several talents that were
previously locked to a single SpellFamilyName, plus a server+client
Warrior stance bypass and a Paragon-aware Mirror Image rebuild that
mimics the owner's spellbook instead of stock Frostbolt/Fire Blast.
Talent expansions (Paragon owners only; stock classes unchanged):
- Cold Snap (11958): resets cooldown of any Frost-school spell.
- Nature's Swiftness (17116, 16188) + Predator's Swiftness (69369):
instant-cast on any Nature-school spell.
- Vampiric Embrace (15286): leech-heals from any single-target
Shadow-school spell.
- Fingers of Frost (44543/44545) + Frostbite (11071/12496/12497):
proc from any Frost-school chill effect (DK Howling Blast / Icy
Touch / Chains of Ice, Hunter Frost Trap, Shaman Frost Shock,
cross-class chill auras via SPELL_AURA_MOD_DECREASE_SPEED).
- Maelstrom Weapon (53817): now also affects Mage Fireball (133),
Frostbolt (116), and Arcane Blast (30451) at every rank, both
for cast-time/cost spellmod and for stack consumption.
Warrior stance bypass:
- SpellInfo::CheckShapeshift returns SPELL_CAST_OK whenever a
Paragon caster hits any Stances!=0 spell (no SpellFamilyName
gate). Stock classes still see the regular form rules.
- Client side: patch-enUS-4.MPQ now zeroes Stances on every
SPELLFAMILY_WARRIOR Spell.dbc row (105 spells) so the engine's
pre-cast "Must be in Battle/Defensive/Berserker Stance" check
no longer eats CMSG_CAST_SPELL packets for Paragons. Server
bypass enforces the actual decision; stock Warriors still
error mid-cast if they actually click while out of stance.
- patch-enUS-5.MPQ Lua tooltip post-processor recolors and
appends "(Paragon: bypassed)" to "Requires *Stance*" lines on
Warrior abilities, plus Paragon notes on Maelstrom Weapon and
Mirror Image tooltips. Action-bar UseAction wrapper routes
stance-gated Warrior spell clicks through CastSpellByName so
the stance-zero DBC + server bypass actually run.
Mirror Image:
- npc_pet_mage_mirror_image rebuilds its spell list from the
Paragon owner's spellbook on InitializeAI AND JustEngagedWith
(the second pass + events.Reset clears any stale events the
CasterAI base scheduler may have queued from stock 59637 /
59638 entries before the rebuild ran).
- Curated filter keeps single-target damaging spells (instant,
cast-time, or channeled) with a base cooldown <=10s, with the
"damaging" definition expanded to include
SPELL_EFFECT_TRIGGER_MISSILE and
SPELL_AURA_PERIODIC_TRIGGER_SPELL so Arcane Missiles
qualifies. Rejects passives, AoE, melee/ranged weapon strikes,
item/reagent/stance/equip-gated, and lower spell ranks.
- UpdateAI picks a random spell from the curated list per cast
and reschedules the next pick by the actually-cast spell's
cast/channel duration + 750ms breather, so a 5s Arcane
Missiles channel waits its full duration before re-rolling
rather than visually looping across four images.
Helpers:
- Unit::IsParagonWildcardCaller / Unit::ParagonFamilyMatches
used by Spell.cpp, SpellInfo.cpp, Player.cpp,
SpellAuraEffects.cpp, and the spell scripts.
- SpellInfo::CheckShapeshift signature gains an optional caster
pointer; all call sites updated.
SQL migrations under modules/mod-paragon/data/sql/db-world/updates/:
- 2026_05_11_01.sql Vampiric Embrace spell_proc relax + script
gate (CheckProc enforces stock for non-Paragon).
- 2026_05_11_02.sql Maelstrom Weapon spell_proc relax (initial,
superseded by _04 below for stack-consumption fix).
- 2026_05_11_03.sql Fingers of Frost / Frostbite spell_proc relax
and spell_script_names binding.
- 2026_05_11_04.sql Maelstrom Weapon spell_proc fixup: restore
SpellPhaseMask=1 (CAST) and AttributesMask=8
(REQ_SPELLMOD); previous _02 set 8/0 which
silently dropped every proc event.
Diagnostics from this debugging session demoted from LOG_INFO to
LOG_DEBUG (silent at default info level) so production logs stay
quiet but the probes remain available for reproducing future
regressions: pet_mage.cpp MirrorImage probe/kept/rebuild/init/
engage/cast lines and SpellInfo.cpp CheckShapeshift bypass line.
CLIENT-PATCHES.md updated to document the new Warrior stance DBC
patcher (_patch_spell_dbc_stances.py), the spell-tooltip post-
processor and stance UseAction wrapper in patch-enUS-5.MPQ, and
the Mirror Image / Maelstrom Weapon Paragon notes.

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.
