Applies a shield to the caster that will absorb the next 100 damage taken. While the shield holds, the caster cannot have their spellcasting interrupted.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 147.

What it does

Fire Shield is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. 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.
