How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 3.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 5.

What it does

Soul Leech 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.

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.
