The caster malfunctions for 5 sec, inflicting Nature damage to all players every 1 sec, knocking them back, and reducing their movement speed by 50% for 5 sec.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 5 times over the full 5 sec. It triggers Malfunction.

What it does

Malfunction is a Nature spell with a 2.5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Malfunction (record #451133).

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.
