How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Drain Power is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 79. Its base value is -1. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 61. Its base value is -5. Its area radius is 50000 yards.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. Its area radius is 50000 yards. It triggers Drain Power.

What it does

Drain Power is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 min. When cast it applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius. It also casts Drain Power (record #44132). It stacks up to 99999 times.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the Burning Crusade client, build 2.5.6.70006. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
