Soul Siphon

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 226. It ticks every 1 sec, 210 times over the full 210 sec.
  2. Effect 2 is Spawn (effect type 46).

What it does

Soul Siphon is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 210 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and has a Spawn effect.

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.
