How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 193. Its base value is 5.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec.

What it does

Howling Blade is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It stacks up to 5 times.
