How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

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 Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 30.

What it does

Taint of the Sea is a Frost spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 16 sec. 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.
