How it works

Blade Dance is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It scales with 1 times spell power. It ticks every 1 sec, 2 times over the full 2 sec. It triggers Shadow Step.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Blade Dance is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Shadow Step.

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.
