How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
  2. Effect 2 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 2313. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Cauterize is a Fire spell with an instant cast, a range of 10 yards and effects that last 0.0 sec. When cast it applies an aura and deals Fire damage (base value 2313).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Wrath of the Lich King client, build 3.80.2.69874. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
