How it works

Siphon Essence is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Siphon Essence is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 8.5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius and applies an aura.

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.
