Imbeds a demon seed in the enemy target, inflicting 4 Shadow damage every 3 sec for 18 sec. When the target dies, or after 18 sec, the seed will detonate, inflicting 10 Shadow damage to all enemies of the target.

How it works

Spells that share its cooldown category wait 3 sec after it is cast. Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown. Its dispel type is client id 1. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. It ticks every 3 sec, 6 times over the full 18 sec (24 base in total).

What it does

Seed of Corruption is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, a range of 30 yards, a 12 sec cooldown and effects that last 18 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 3 sec.

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.
