The Primordial Mindbender tears a fragment from the minds of all players, inflicting 35 Shadow damage to them and restoring 100% health to the caster.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 35. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 100.

What it does

Consume Essence is a Shadow spell with a 12 sec cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 35) in a 300 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.
