How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 29. Its base value is -25.9052. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 45 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 13.4152 per tick. It scales with 1 times spell power. Its area radius is 45 yards. It ticks every 5 sec, 3 times over the full 15 sec (40.25 base in total).

What it does

Soul Corruption is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura in a 45 yard radius and applies an aura in a 45 yard radius every 5 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.
