How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

  1. Effect 1 is effect type 143, which the datamine does not name. It applies aura type 81. Its base value is 20. Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Soul Link is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled.

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.
