How it works

Soul Siphon is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 117624 per tick. Its area radius is 100 yards. It ticks every 1 sec, 10 times over the full 10 sec (1.17624e+06 base in total).
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 298. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 226, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 100 yards.

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 in a 100 yard radius every 1 sec and applies an aura in a 100 yard radius.

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.
