Defile

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Defile is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 min. When cast it 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.
