Tooltip

Consecrates the land beneath you, causing Radiant damage over 12 sec to enemies who enter the area and reducing their movement speed by 50%. Limit 1.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Consecration is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 12 times over the full 12 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Create Area Effect (effect type 179). Its base value is 1.
  3. Effect 3 is Summon (effect type 28).

What it does

Consecration is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 9 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec, has a Create Area Effect effect and summons a creature.

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.
