How it works

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

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 20 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Soulstorm.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 20 times over the full 10 sec. It triggers Soulstorm.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 26.

What it does

Soulstorm is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 0.5 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Soulstorm (record #341913) and Soulstorm (record #68925).

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.
