Tooltip

Summon Demonic Tyrant leaves open a rift to the Twisting Nether for 15 sec.

While Nether Portal is active, Hand of Gul'dan costs 5 Soul Shards and summons 1 demons, up to 5, to assist you in combat for 15 sec.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Nether Portal is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 5.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Nether Portal.

What it does

Nether Portal is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Nether Portal (record #267217).

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.
