How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 250.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 136, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 10.

What it does

Devour is a Physical spell with a 2 sec cast and a range of 40 yards. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 250).
