How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec. It triggers Ruin.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 200 yards.

What it does

Ruin is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Ruin (record #139074).

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 19 separate Spell records named "Ruin". This page is record #139073. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
