Hits nearby enemies with anti-mana bolts. For each point of mana consumed from a target, that target takes damage.

How it works

Mana Burn is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Power Burn (effect type 62). Its base value is 6.6116. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 30 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 7. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Mana Burn is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it burns a resource on the target (base value 6.6116) in a 30 yard radius and applies an aura in a 30 yard radius.

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.
