How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 495. It triggers Instability.

What it does

Instability is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Instability (record #443847).

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.
