Devour

How it works

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

Effect 1 is Health Leech (effect type 9). Its base value is 10.
Effect 2 is effect type 226, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Devour is a Physical spell with a 1 sec cast and a range of 12 yards. When cast it drains health from the target (base value 10).

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.
