How it works

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

What it does

Despair is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Despair (record #128168).

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.
