Consume Essence

How it works

Consume Essence is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 89. Its base value is 20 per tick. Its area radius is 30 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec (100 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Consume Essence is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 30 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura in a 30 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.
