How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 2.5 per tick. Its area radius is 60 yards. It ticks every 0.2 sec, 24 times over the full 6 sec (60 base in total). It triggers Drain Essence.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 60 yards. It triggers Devour Essence.

What it does

Drain Essence is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 60 yard radius every 0.2 sec and applies an aura in a 60 yard radius. It also casts Drain Essence (record #339888) and Devour Essence.

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.
