How it works

Each cast of Ignite costs 60 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 2 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (20 base in total).

What it does

Ignite is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 10) and applies an aura 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.

The game client stores 36 separate Spell records named "Ignite". This page is record #80151. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
