How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 142, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 2000. It triggers Flames.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 227. Its base value is 1000 per tick. It scales with 0.143 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (3000 base in total). It triggers Flames.

What it does

Flames is a Fire spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Flames (record #49884).

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 70 separate Spell records named "Flames". This page is record #49883. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
