How it works

Instakill Self is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Instakill (effect type 1).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Instakill Self is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it kills the target outright and applies an aura.

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.
