Decrease the armor of the target for 30 sec. While affected, the target cannot stealth or turn invisible.

How it works

Each cast of Faerie Fire costs 55 Mana. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 22.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 41.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 41.

What it does

Faerie Fire is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

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.
