Introduction
These are commands specific to auras. You can get an aura through Unit methods GetAuraObjectById(spell id), and use that similar to how you would use Unit or Player. For instance.
function OnCombat(Unit, event)
Unit:CastSpell(1337)
local aura = Unit:GetAuraObjectById(1337)
local spell_id = aura:GetSpellId()
-- spell id would be 1337
tostring( aura:GetCaster() ) == tostring( Unit ) -- would return true
-- Just stick aura, in front of the command the same way you would Player or Unit
end
