Orb of Corruption

How it works

Orb of Corruption is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is -50.
  2. Effect 2 is Spawn (effect type 46).
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 160, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Orb of Corruption.

What it does

Orb of Corruption is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2 sec. When cast it applies an aura and has a Spawn effect. It also casts Orb of Corruption (record #227920).

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.
