Consume Essence

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Summon (effect type 28).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Consume Essence is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 20 yards and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it summons a creature and 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.
