What it does
SpellActivationOverlay adds spell activation overlays, also called spell alerts, to Classic. When a talent or ability effect procs, a large image shows up next to your character so the moment is hard to miss.
The matching button on your action bar glows too, so a glance at your bars tells you which spell to press.
There is nothing to configure. Install it and log in. Which effects show up depends on your class and the game version.
Key features
- A spell alert image when a proc fires.

Installation
- Download the zip and extract it.

SpellActivationOverlayfolder inside it intoWorld of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\. - Close the game completely and reopen it (
/reloadalone does not load new files). - On the character select screen, check that the addon is ticked in the AddOns list.
Notes
- The class list in the description covers several Classic versions; entries for classes that WoW Forever does not have, such as Death Knight, do not apply here.
FAQ
Do I need to configure anything?
No. Install the addon and log in, and the alerts work on their own.
