8 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_SHARE_DAMAGE 0x00000008 4 - Implies Effect Aura 300 SPELL_AURA_SHARE_DAMAGE_PCT. Ex. Council type bosses that share a HP pool.
16 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_NO_INITIAL_THREAT 0x00000010 5 - Seems the same as SPELL_ATTR2_NO_INITIAL_THREAT. Might have uses when the original conflicts or is not functioning properly.
32 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_AURA_CC 0x00000020 6 - Can modify functionality to behave with crowd controlled effects like stun, freeze, etc.
64 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_DONT_BREAK_STEALTH 0x00000040 7 - Likely very similar to SPELL_ATTR1_ALLOW_WHILE_STEALTHED. This might also override SPELL_ATTR1_FAILURE_BREAKS_STEALTH.
128 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_CAN_CRIT 0x00000080 8 - The opposite of SPELL_ATTR2_CANT_CRIT. Bypass restrictive attributes and combinations such as SPELL_EFFECT_NORMALIZED_WEAPON_DMG + SPELL_EFFECT_HEAL_PCT which soft disable criticals.
256 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_DIRECT_DAMAGE 0x00000100 9 - Could imply spell functionality modification such as (Direct Damage - Spell) from SpellCategory.
512 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_CHARGE 0x00000200 10 - This might imply Effect Aura 411 SPELL_AURA_MOD_MAX_CHARGES or modify charge timing on spells which can also be found in SpellCategory.
1,024 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_PICKPOCKET 0x00000400 11 - Allows access to the pickpocket loot table of an enemy.
2,048 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_DEPRECATED_ROLLING_PERIODIC 0x00000800 12 - Seems like a combination of SPELL_ATTR4_OBSOLETE + SPELL_ATTR10_ROLLING_PERIODIC.
4,096 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_DEPRECATED_NEGATIVE_EFF0 0x00001000 13 - Possible combination of SPELL_ATTR4_OBSOLETE + SPELL_ATTR0_AURA_IS_DEBUFF.
8,192 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_DEPRECATED_NEGATIVE_EFF1 0x00002000 14 - Unknown differences of this, the above, and below attributes.
16,384 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_DEPRECATED_NEGATIVE_EFF2 0x00004000 15 - Unknown differences of this and the above two attributes.
32,768 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_IGNORE_ARMOR 0x00008000 16 - Implies Effect Aura 345 SPELL_AURA_BYPASS_ARMOR_FOR_CASTER. Ex. Cleave damage so the calculations does not get reduced unintentionally.
65,536 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_REQ_TARGET_FACING_CASTER 0x00010000 17 - Similar to SPELL_ATTR0_TRACK_TARGET_IN_CAST_PLAYER_ONLY except the target is affected and this is not client only based instead.
131,072 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_REQ_CASTER_BEHIND_TARGET 0x00020000 18 - Another EffectPos_facing similar attribute. An example for this would be backstab like spells.
262,144 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_ALLOW_INFLIGHT_TARGET 0x00040000 19 - Unsure if this is vehicle related. Possibly like SPELL_ATTR6_CAN_TARGET_UNTARGETABLE or another attribute that combines ones from the core.
524,288 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_NEEDS_AMMO_DATA 0x00080000 20 - It is unlikely this is referring to deprecated hunter ammunitions and is instead a vehicle mechanic.
1,048,576 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_BINARY_SPELL 0x00100000 21 - Spell can be 1 or 0. Example of spells that can be toggled are probable if this is the case.
2,097,152 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_SCHOOLMASK_NORMAL_WITH_MAGIC 0x00200000 22 - Sets the school to 1 + 126? More information at SchoolMask.
4,194,304 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_DEPRECATED_LIQUID_AURA 0x00400000 23 - Similar to the other custom deprecated attributes. An example of liquid auras could be the debuff from Naxxramas slime.
8,388,608 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_IS_TALENT 0x00800000 24 - This attribute will likely deal with the handling of spell descriptions. Possibly works like SPELL_ATTR0_IS_ABILITY but this may be incorrect.
16,777,216 SPELL_ATTR0_CU_AURA_CANNOT_BE_SAVED 0x01000000 25 - Aura is not saved in the database. One reason would be to prevent exploits (having a buff where it should not be).

Flag Combinatorics (Extra)

The following is a basic breakdown of how attribute flags are used to build values for their respective DBC fields. This information and examples are mainly for those who do not know how to properly use the information presented here.

   When modifying field values in the DBC, you should use addition to create a new value, but make sure to include the original value if you wish to keep it. Example: 1 + 16 + 256 + 16,384 = 16,657.
   
   If you are attempting to determine pre-existing flags, then you should subtract the highest flag from the table with regard to the value in question.
   
   Let us say we have a value of 159,383,824 in the field SpellAttr0 (Attributes). We take our value of 159,383,824 and subtract it from the highest flag that does not exceed this value.
   
   In this case, that number would be 134,217,728. So we subtract it: 159,383,824 - 134,217,728 = 25,166,096. Make note that the value we subtracted is now our first flag(134,217,728(Flag1)) in this attribute.
   
   Now we just repeat this step until the original value reaches 0: 25,166,096 - 16,777,216(Flag2) = 8,388,880 | 8,388,880 - 8,388,608(Flag3) = 272 | 272 - 256(Flag4) = 16 | 16 - 16(Flag5) = 0.
   
   All that is left to be done is add together our 5 flags: 134,217,728 + 16,777,216 + 8,388,608 + 256 + 16 = 159,383,824; this step is optional and is just to check that your flags equal the initial value.
   
   We now have our final flags for SpellAttr0: SPELL_ATTR0_ALLOW_WHILE_SITTING(134,217,728) | SPELL_ATTR0_ALLOW_WHILE_MOUNTED(16,777,216) | SPELL_ATTR0_ALLOW_CAST_WHILE_DEAD(8,388,608) | SPELL_ATTR0_DO_NOT_LOG(256) and SPELL_ATTR0_IS_ABILITY(16).
   
   (Tip) A quick mental sum of the final digits also applies: 8 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 6 = 4, and since our value ended in a 4(159,383,824) this quick sanity check can be applied to other math as well. Search "Casting Out Nines" if interested.
   
   (Tip) If using a calculator, then invoke the memory store function after entering a flag before subtracting it, and you now have a list of your flags when viewing memory. This is more useful for calculators with no history function.

Original page was extracted from Trinity Core Source (SharedDefines.h).

Please note that while many Spell Headers may contain different wording from various sources (largely dependent on sources/forks) and years of work, the goal is to convey information most accurately and understandably.
Only when programming or creating complex modifications would the header information be needed (which can be found in the most recent or current version of the project you are working in.)

This is an ongoing update of many important integral attributes that define spells and abilities. If you have knowledge of these please feel free to add any missing information, especially ones from Cataclysm forward. --Xiberion (talk) 16:43, 10 May 2023 (CEST)
