How it works

Each cast of Moonfire costs 95 Mana. Its dispel type is client id 1.

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 33 per tick. It scales with 0.13 times spell power. It ticks every 3 sec, 4 times over the full 12 sec (132 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 205. It scales with 0.15 times spell power.

What it does

Moonfire is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec and deals Arcane damage (base value 205).

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.
