Tooltip

Inflicts Arcane damage to an enemy, then additional damage every 3 sec. for 12 sec.

How it works

Each cast of Moonfire costs 150 Mana.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 302 per tick. It scales with 0.13 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (1208 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1222. It scales with 0.15 times spell power.

What it does

Moonfire is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and deals Arcane damage (base value 1222).

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.
