Summons an entire legion of Ghouls to fight for the Death Knight. The Ghouls will swarm the area, taunting and fighting anything they can. The Black Knight will also occasionally cast Ghoul Explode on one!

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.8 sec, 8 times over the full 6 sec. It triggers Army of the Dead.

What it does

Army of the Dead is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.8 sec. It also casts Army of the Dead (record #67762).
