How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 45. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Hellfire Effect.

What it does

Hellfire is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 45) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Hellfire Effect.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
