When a Severed Soul is defeated, the player that it belongs to is returned to their body.

If a player's Severed Soul persists when Lost Soul expires, they are instantly slain.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 428. It triggers Lost Soul.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 495. It triggers Cancel Lost Soul.

What it does

Severed Soul is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Lost Soul and Cancel Lost Soul.

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.
