Curse of Doom is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. It scales with 3 times spell power. It ticks every 1 min.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.

What it does

Curse of Doom is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 1 min.

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.
