Spending a Soul Shard on a damaging spell grants Diabolic Ritual for 20 sec. While Diabolic Ritual is active, each Soul Shard spent on a damaging spell reduces its duration by 1 sec.

When Diabolic Ritual expires you gain Demonic Art, causing your next Hand of Gul'dan to summon an Overlord, Mother of Chaos, or Pit Lord that unleashes a devastating attack against your enemies.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Diabolic Ritual is built from 4 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 1.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is -36.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 15.

What it does

Diabolic Ritual is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). 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.
