How it works

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). It scales with 6.251 times attack power. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Consumption.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 8.

What it does

Consumption is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it deals Shadow damage in an 8 yard radius. It also casts Consumption (record #274893).

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.
