  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 250 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (1500 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 5. Its base value is 1. It scales with 1 times spell power.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 1 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec (6 base in total). It triggers Engulfing Flames.

What it does

Engulfing Flames is a Fire spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Engulfing Flames (record #20021).
