How it works

Siege Shell is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 1000. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 144, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 75. Its area radius is 5 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 5 yards.

What it does

Siege Shell is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it deals Fire damage (base value 1000) in a 5 yard radius and applies an aura in a 5 yard radius.

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.
