How it works

Its dispel type is client id 1.

Carrion Swarm is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 450. Its area radius is 15 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 118. Its base value is -50. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Carrion Swarm is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 450) in a 15 yard radius and applies an aura in a 15 yard radius.

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.
