How it works

Each cast of Defiled Ground costs 150 Mana.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. Its area radius is 3 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec (15 base in total).

What it does

Defiled Ground is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 3 yard radius every 1 sec.
