How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 3.
  2. Effect 2 is Energize (effect type 30). Its base value is 3.

What it does

Festering Wound is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it restores a resource (base value 3).

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.
