Wandering Plague

How it works

Its aura has a 5% chance to proc when its trigger condition is met.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Wandering Plague.

What it does

Wandering Plague 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. It also casts Wandering Plague (record #3436).

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.
