How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

What it does

Vampiric Embrace is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 2 min cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec.
