  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec, 15 times over the full 30 sec.

What it does

Corruption is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It stacks up to 99 times.

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.
