Alexstrasza begins to Cauterize the Blistering Tentacles, inflicting lethal damage over 5 sec.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 25 times over the full 5 sec. It triggers Cauterize.

What it does

Cauterize is a Fire spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.2 sec. It also casts Cauterize (record #105569).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
