How it works

Dark Rune is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is 10.
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Dark Rune is a Holy, Nature, Shadow and Arcane spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura.

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.
