Each blast inflicts 1 Cosmic damage to all players and an additional 40 Cosmic damage every 1 sec for 1 min. This effect stacks.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Decay is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 140. Its area radius is 300 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 40 per tick. Its area radius is 300 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 60 times over the full 1 min (2400 base in total).

What it does

Decay is a Holy, Nature, Shadow and Arcane spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 1 min. When cast it deals Holy, Nature, Shadow and Arcane damage (base value 140) in a 300 yard radius and applies an aura in a 300 yard radius every 1 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.
