Dark Ritual

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 5 sec. It triggers Dark Ritual.

What it does

Dark Ritual is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 5 sec. It also casts Dark Ritual (record #309657).

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.
