How it works

Each cast of Psychic Horror costs 1 Power (28). Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1.

Psychic Horror is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its base value is 1. It applies the horrified mechanic.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). Its base value is 1. It triggers Psychic Horror.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Devouring Plague.

What it does

Psychic Horror is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 45 sec cooldown and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it applies an aura with the horrified mechanic. The client files the whole spell under the horrified mechanic. It also casts Psychic Horror (record #64058) and Devouring Plague.

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.
