High Sage Viryx scorches several players with focused sunlight, inflicting 10 Fire damage and an additional 5 Fire damage every 1 sec for 5 sec.

How it works

Scorching Ray is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Scorching Ray.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (25 base in total).

What it does

Scorching Ray is a Fire spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 10) and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Scorching Ray (record #1253541).

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.
