How it works

It works on charges (charge category 1692); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. The aura is spent after 1 procs.

Spell Reflection is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 28. Its base value is 100.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Spell Reflection.

What it does

Spell Reflection is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Spell Reflection (record #385391).

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.
