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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 11. It scales with 0.343 times spell power.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 0.55 per tick. It scales with 0.027 times spell power. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (2.2 base in total).

What it does

Holy Fire is a Fire spell with a 5 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 11) and applies an aura every 2 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.
