How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Siphon Essence.

What it does

Siphon Essence is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Siphon Essence (record #40293).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
