How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Psyfiend.

What it does

Psyfiend is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards, a 45 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Psyfiend (record #199824).

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.
