When you have Unstable Affliction active on 2 or more targets, you generate 1 Soul Shard every 3 sec.

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. Its base value is 2.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 0, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 1.

What it does

Soul Siphon is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). 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.
