How it works

Each cast of Putrefy costs -10 Runic Power. It works on charges (charge category 2441); the charge count and recharge time live in a client table the datamine does not carry, so they are not stated here. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.

Putrefy is a Frost and Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 40 yards.

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.
