Releases a host of wailing souls every 2 sec for 1 min, inflicting 50.5554 Shadow damage to all players within the spirit realm.

How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 2 sec, 30 times over the full 1 min. It triggers Wailing Souls.

What it does

Wailing Souls is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura every 2 sec. It also casts Wailing Souls (record #236075).

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.
