How it works

What it does

Curse of Agony is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 10 sec cooldown and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec.

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.
