Tooltip

Exposes all hidden and invisible enemies within 5 yards of the targeted area for 30 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 41. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 41. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Flare is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 50 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius.

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.
