How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 285. Its base value is 5. It triggers Searing Flames.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Searing Flames is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Searing Flames (record #316698).

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.
