How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 25 per tick. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec (75 base in total).

What it does

Corruption is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Classic Era client, build 1.15.9.70003. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
