How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 165, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its area radius is 5 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec.

What it does

Cauterizing Bolt is a Fire spell with a 2 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 5 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
