How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 6 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Hellfire.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26. It triggers Hellfire.

What it does

Hellfire is a Fire spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Hellfire (record #34660).

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.
