How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 40. Its area radius is 60 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1250.

What it does

Ignite is a Fire spell with a 2.8 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 40) in a 60 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.
