How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 8 sec. It triggers Tidal Wave.

What it does

Tidal Wave is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 8 sec. It also casts Tidal Wave (record #192798).

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.
