How it works

What it does

Unholy Aura is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Unholy Aura (record #17466).

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.
