How it works

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 124. Its base value is -30.

What it does

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
