How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 285. It triggers Tidal Surge.

What it does

Tidal Surge is a Frost spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Tidal Surge (record #280403).

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.
