How it works

Each cast of Desecration costs 660 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Persistent Area Aura (effect type 27). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 1 per tick. It scales with 0.143 times spell power. Its area radius is 6 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 8 times over the full 8 sec (8 base in total).

What it does

Desecration is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it leaves a persistent area effect on the ground in a 6 yard radius every 1 sec.
