Fatal damage instead brings you to 35% health and then burns you for 28% of your maximum health over 6 sec.

While burning, movement slowing effects are suppressed and your movement speed is increased by 150%.

This effect cannot occur more than once every 6 min.

How it works

Cauterize is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 316.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 35.
  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Blazing Speed.

What it does

Cauterize is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Blazing Speed.

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.
