How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 12.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 4 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 6 times over the full 3 sec (24 base in total).

What it does

Soul Chains is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 40 yards and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 0.5 sec. The client files the whole spell under the stunned mechanic.
