How it works

Flashing Steel is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 219. Its base value is -5000.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 25.

What it does

Flashing Steel is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.
