Requirements
- Learned Thorns; the source reports its first rank at level 6. Confirm each later rank in your own spellbook.
- Enough Mana for the learned spell rank being cast.
Known limitations
- Research-supported beta design; no recorded Forever client macro tests. English spell names need localization on other clients.
- The first matching target wins. Range, line of sight, immunity, resources or a failed cast do not make the macro try the next target.
- No explicit form-change command is included. Confirm the client automatic-unshift setting and enter the required form yourself. Form, cooldown and global-cooldown restrictions still apply.
- Keep Shift plus this key free of conflicting bindings.
- Thorns can damage an attacker. Choose a recipient deliberately when crowd control matters.
Notes
- Reference IDs identify the source first ranks. Unranked macro names ask the client to use a learned rank; they do not force rank 1.
- Talent point eligibility and source spell-learning levels are separate. Earned Legacy Talented can alter the point budget, but earlier acquisition or casting remains unverified.
