Drains the soul essence of targets.

How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.
  2. Effect 2 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Soul Siphon.

What it does

Soul Siphon is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Soul Siphon (record #243029).

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.
