The caster consumes the target, and their Amorphic Cognitor takes note of all of the target's properties.

How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Consume is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 77, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 20.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 90, which the datamine does not name.
  4. Effect 4 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers spell id 178957.

What it does

Consume is a spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 5 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura.

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.

Multiple client spell records exist

The game client stores 124 separate Spell records named "Consume". This page is record #174146. They are not merged: each record can belong to a different difficulty, caster, rank or tuning, so each keeps its own page. The 12 records closest by id are compared here.
