Reduce all damage taken by 50% for 20 sec, up to damage prevented. When this effect expires, you suffer 20% increased damage as Fire for 30 sec, up to extra damage.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2).

What it does

Backlash is a Fire spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
