How it works

Siphon Corruption is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 6 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Siphon Corruption.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1.5 sec, 6 times over the full 9 sec. It triggers Erupting Shadows.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers spell id 244060.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers spell id 244063.
  5. Effect 5 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers spell id 244062.

What it does

Siphon Corruption is a Shadow spell with a 1 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 9 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1.5 sec. It also casts Siphon Corruption (record #244578) and Erupting Shadows.

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.
