How it works

Flame Whirl is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -75. It triggers Flame Whirl.

What it does

Flame Whirl is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.8 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Flame Whirl (record #198607).

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.
