Exposes all hidden and invisible enemies within 10 yards of the targeted area for 20 sec.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 41. Its area radius is 10 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 41. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Flare is an Arcane spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 20 sec cooldown and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 10 yard radius.

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.
