How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It triggers Penance.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 3 times over the full 3 sec. It triggers Penance.

What it does

Penance is a Holy spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Penance (record #175944).

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.
