How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Mercurial Shield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It scales with 1 times spell power. It triggers Mercurial Shield.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 29286.

What it does

Mercurial Shield is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Mercurial Shield (record #26465).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
