Taint of the Sea

How it works

Taint of the Sea 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 Spawn (effect type 46).

What it does

Taint of the Sea is a spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 2.1 sec. When cast it applies an aura 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.
