Heals the caster for 25% of maximum health, but causes them to burn for 1% of maximum health every 1 sec for 30 sec.

How it works

Cauterize is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 25.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 89. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec (30 base in total).

What it does

Cauterize is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 25 separate Spell records named "Cauterize". This page is record #147997. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
