How it works

Bait and Switch is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is -15.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is -20.

What it does

Bait and Switch is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.
