How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met. It can proc at most once every 1 sec.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It scales with 1 times spell power. It triggers Setup.

What it does

Setup is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Setup (record #15250).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
