How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 9000.
  2. Effect 2 is Summon (effect type 28).

What it does

Impale is a Physical spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 min. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 9000) and summons a creature.

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.
