Devour

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Hungry.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3).

What it does

Devour is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards. It also casts Hungry.

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.
