How it works

Heat Wave is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 9.5162. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 9.5162 per tick. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (47.58 base in total).

What it does

Heat Wave is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 9.5162) in a 50000 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius every 1 sec.

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.
