Wound Poison is a spell with a 1.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 hr. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Wound Poison (record #8680).

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.
