How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 12. Its area radius is 4 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is 5. Its area radius is 4 yards.

What it does

Forbidden Ritual is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 12) in a 4 yard radius and applies an aura in a 4 yard radius. It stacks up to 10 times.

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.
