How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Slithering Flame is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 30.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 5 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 20 times over the full 20 sec (100 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 30.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Slithering Flame is a Fire spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it applies an aura, applies an aura every 1 sec and deals Fire damage (base value 30).

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.
