How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. Its base value is 165000 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec, 4 times over the full 8 sec (660000 base in total). It triggers Befouling Ink.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -25. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Befouling Ink is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 200 yards and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec and applies an aura with the snared mechanic. It also casts Befouling Ink (record #232916).

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.
