Corruption

How it works

Corruption is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Spawn (effect type 46).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Corruption is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it has a Spawn effect and applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
