holds data about every spell used.

The spell ID.

Category ID based on which cooldown is determined. Spells with same category go into cooldown if one of them goes into cooldown.

Dispel type of a spell. Some spells can only dispel specific types of spells, for example poisons. – enum DispelType

Spells effects utilize a mechanics. – enum Mechanics

Special rules for spells. There are several columns for attributes. These rules can do anything, and some can be name only. – SharedDefines.h

Determines specific stances in which caster must be for spell to be successfully cast. Example can be either warrior stances or druid forms.

Determines specific stances in which caster cannot be for spell to be successfully cast.

Determines the default targets for some spells. These specify what needs to be supplied to a spell/effect and some are used for client→server sending and some for server→client sending. Represents mask, i.e. more can be utilized at once.

Specifies what creature types the spell can target, for example Humanoid or Beast.

Specifies the spell focus GO, around which the caster has to be for a successful cast.

Indicates that this spell needs a GO near (e.g. forges). Required object has the type GAMEOBJECT_TYPE_SPELLFOCUS and data0 matches the RequiresSpellFocus value.

Specifies how the caster has to face the target so that the spell is successful.

Specifies the caster AuraState required for the cast to be successful.

Specifies the target AuraState required for the cast to be successful.

Specifies which AuraState the caster must not have for the cast to be successful.

Specifies which AuraState the target must not have for the cast to be successful.

CastingTime (Id) that defines how long it takes for the spell to cast in milliseconds.

Chance to proc on a given event. Often overriden in spell_proc_event.

How many times it can proc until it expires. Can be infinite – -1. Often overriden in spell_proc_event.

All three level fields are used for level scaling of spells and how their base values are utilized. Diminishing returns start to apply above MaxLevel.

If above zero, how fast spell travels to target. Below zero values are at the moment not understood.

How many stacks a spell can have on repeated casts. Example is Lifebloom. In client shown in same fashion as ProcCharges but are two different things. A dispell spell would dispel all ProcCharges at once but only one stack.

enum SpellEffects or SpellEffects.cpp for more information

Random Value of the Die that is rolled for the SPELL_EFFECT
Max(EffectDieSides1) + (EffectBaseDice1 + EffectBasePoints1) = MaxValue for SPELL_EFFECT

Base Value for the SPELL_EFFECT, mostly 1
EffectBaseDice1 + EffectBasePoints1 = MinValue for SPELL_EFFECT

Value added to EffectBaseDice1

The mechanic of the effect with the same id `N` (e.g. `EffectMechanic1` relates to `Effect1`). There are up to three effects, N = {1,2,3}. See Mechanic.

The target of the effect with the same id `N` (e.g. `EffectImplicitTargetA1` relates to `Effect1`). There are up to three effects, N = {1,2,3}.

For example: Food buff item spells usually work on the player eating them, indicated by `TARGET_UNIT_CASTER` (`1`).

Period of ticking aura. Many dummies can have periodicity forced in core and do not have period set in this table.

Changes meaning per effect. For SPELL_EFFECT_DISPEL it is for example enum DispelType.

In Vanilla, spellschools are handled by ID.

From TBC onwards, spells can have multiple schools, handled by Bitmask. Best example is either Fel Lightning in Magisters Terrace or Frostfire bolt WOTLK mage spell
